Default Re: How about a Spitfire 5?

That's a very good idea cityvader, I hadn't thought about using go-kart parts.
Thanks.


Now I have another issue. I did some minor cleanup and adjustment (i.e. no-disassembly) to try to get the 'ol Spitfire rideable, and now I'm torn.
It cleaned up so nicely, that now I'm almost loathe to alter it.

It still needs new tires, and a new set of cables would be a good idea too, but now I'm thinking It's in such nice condition, I might leave it stock original and ride it around as is, unpowered.
Now I'm considering powering my GT Ricochet instead, which gives me some more options as far as engines and mounts go, disc brakes become an option as well.

Anyway, here's the Spitfire all cleaned up, what are your thoughts/opinions?
Should I motorize it anyway, or leave it original and motorize the GT?
