That was bad ass. I wish I could have that done with my K10. On second thought. NO, Glad they don't come apart that easy.

Man, as simple as that thing is, I'd take it apart and have the whole shell sandblasted and Line-X'd inside and out.

Wish I could but no money haha

Its not supposed to be fancy. Its supposed to be functional. I'm sure it'll look much better though, and won't be rusting away anymore.

:drool::drool: It's not often you see a motor just sitting in a little wagon like that! :D Very cool and I'm excited about this build.

Also, nice score on the rims and tires. They look pretty good and if they've got "like new" tread on them then that's all the better.

LOL, I know, that little motor looks like if someone had a small chain to make a carry handle for it, someone could carry it off.

haha! Is an engine hoist even necessary? I'd say 3 guys and a case of beer is all you need for that job! :)

You think 3? I am thinking 2 and pipe thru a chain would lift it out and carry it off just fine.
