Default The Go-Kart from hell

Hello everybody, my name is Lukas, and I'm from the Czech Public. Been lurking around this forum for quite some time and I must say it's one of the most helpfull and friendly ones I've been around.
My daily driver is an heavilly moded BMW E36 318Is, but it's going out of the house this spriong, and most likely I'm getting a Focus or Mondeo, not sure. I love RWD, but the Lady has problems with it in winter, so i need some stock FWD, and atleast can justify getting a project car LOL.
My plan is an Sierra sedan, Cossies are really out of my range at the moment, so my two plans are either building an RS2300 engine and supercharging it, or get an 24V Cossie which can be sometimes found here.
But before all that I need to clean my garage redo the floor there etc LOL, so I've got myself an old GoKart dirt cheap to, play with, some idiot gave it quite some beating, and didn't obviously know nothing about welding. I'll strip it down to the main frame and build it up from scratch, here are a few pics from the striping.

I hope atleast someone will be interested in this project LOL.

Here it is as I brought it home, with the 50cm³ engine LOL, no way that will be enough...




Stripped frame...


Worn out rear axle mounting points...



Rewelded front.... Ever heard about geometry?



Checkout the three piece rims!!!
