We had a trailer, in fact we ended up with 2 trailers.. We had our ride, a few minor adjustments to each quad, make sure all was well; especially with my 150 import, Shug re-done the valves, carb strip down, new exhaust port drilled and fixed, it was the test day for me, this day would either make me burn it or keep it..
Well after a few weeks, lots and lots of work done, the Off-road buggy/go-kart, is ready for the test run’s to begin, after waiting a while for the brake line to come, to get the back brakes working, to at least a stage were i though it would be ok :)

Well after a few weeks of building, fixing, welding, i thought I would post some more pictures of how the build is coming along…

Well heres the start of it, rescued from the local scrap-heap, this rolling chassis was laying there and i felt bad about just walking past it, I knew the first time i seen it it could be something, but after pondering for a while I drove off thinking what a waste, it wasn’t until later that afternoon when the guys showed up, we talked about it and decided f**k it, and drove all the way back and shoehorned it into the back of the car….
This CR 80 was found to be in need of some love and care, including a totally new engine, after the rebuild sourcing new plastics and a few other bits and pieces it all turned out quite well.
The guys take the Quads round a few times to get warmed up..
check out the wicked witch showing off some skills on the Apache RLX250 quad….
