That rusty steel foot ramp obviously needs to go. Also, it appears someone made a singular unit of the brake pedal and master cylinder. The master cylinder should be mounted further back where the factory hangers are. The homemade hanger that the master cylinder is currently on needs to be cut off. Still a nice kart.
Yeah, I love that brake pedal....Simplicity in action...NOT
Thanks for the input

Thanks Ted, I appreciate your offer and will take you up on it. Email sent!!

Thanks Dave,
From the adverts I have seen on the MKIII I have not seen a nerf on the left side. If you have a pic of one, I would love to see it.
Yes, it needs a lot of lovin but I am going for it, should be a good project.
Lots of good input here.

Thanks Skip...nice stuff. I may take you up on it, at least the rear bumper.

On an unrelated note: I just bought a blasting cabinet and air compressor to run it with. I've got a couple of snowmobile engine resto's to do, and both owners want them blasted to like new condition. One of them is a free air engine that has been painted Chevy orange - that one is going to be fun.... If you don't mind, I may be calling you for advice. Obviously, you have blasting air cooled engines perfected!
