My kids wanted gokart, but gokarts are good for flat tarmac - on gravel bumpy roads they could really hurt Your kidneys and rear areas ;-)
So I've bouht some scrap yard parts from old cars, some metal profiles and made the full suspension go kart. Front suspension is almost like in buggy cars. No proffesional tools (apart welder) were used for the construction, so I think that every diy enthusiast can do that alone.

Here You can watch how the go kart is riding
Started from buying cheap, used parts
Then the sketch of the project to see angles and proportions
No big workshop, all works on the garage floor
Here is the front suspension
And hear the rear suspension
Once again the rear suspension
New parts because of safety - engine, sprocket and fluid brakes from motorcross
Tada! First glimpse
Mounting all after painting
Adding the floor
Made wooden seats covered with artificial skin
Finally the ride!
Kids loved the go kart
Not only kids like the car ;-)
The end:)
