well not quite...........I picked up a new toy last weekend. It came at the right price (as most of them do)......$0.00
A mate from work owed me a favour after I had given him some bits for his off-road racing buggy a few years ago.......and this is what he gave me ........! (not the kids, they are mine !
)
He was actually going to send this to the metal scrapyard, until he realised it had ' some sort of Kawasaki motor' in it - at whch point he rang me and said 'do you want it?'. Of course the answer was yes...
Its a z650 engine in the back. Was running fine until parked a few years ago, due to the gear-change mechanism shearing off. I will need to fix this first.
Apart from that, its all there - Mini rack-and-pinion steering, 4-point rally harness, rear disc brake, electric start etc.
Should be a heap of fun !! Looking forward to getting it going.
This will be a bit of a 'prelude' to the proper off-road buggy that is planned, using the GSX-R750 motor out of ProblemChilds hybrid track bike - that motor is just sitting under a bench at the moment, waiting for a transplant into a buggy.....
