LT50 Hybrid - Just for a bit of fun!

[Husky]

Picked this up recently, its a suzuki lt50 rolling chassis.

Only payed £40 for it off ebay (£70 after fuel) and im sticking a lifan 125 semi engine in it, not looking to spend a great deal on it as ive got pretty much everything for it already, engine mounts have been pinched off an akuma assasin frame, exhaust from an old pit bike, engine is from another pit bike, some old pro taper bars, just need to get hold of a tank and a new tyre & tube as one of the wheels had exploded. picking up a spool of gasless mig wire tomorrow so with a bit of luck should have the engine in and i can start modding the pipe to fit properly. the will need a long inlet manifold so the car clears the frame, a swan neck use back to front should work fine gear selector is going to be bit of an issue because there pretty much no room so i think ill use some sort of "stick shift" setup which will be fine as its a semi engine, kick start is another issue but should be able to just bump it...

pics are a bit dark

thats a suzuki lt50a in the video,The model with front suspension and more ground clearance. Feck knows what a standard Lt will be like then with the rigid chassis.
I never liked my wee lads one.
