Thought I would put this up here as it's been a side project for the last 6 months and I finished today *happy*

Here it is when I bought it from eBay





Was a right old bodge , cold weld holding the carb together , and filler almost everywhere . Plus ie was seriously dangerous with the flywheel exposed .



So a full strip down and dry build to suit my 5 year olds with features allowing it to be adapted when they get older . I also added electric start and a remote cut out . I'm really pleased with the completed build . Typically it rained before I could let them test it .

We got to try it out today . I must say considering he has never been or driven a vehicle before I am very impressed and proud . My daughter was not so great as she didn't look where she was going ! But then neither does her mum ! Good job it doesn't have a vanity mirror !!
