This golf kart was handed to me stock.

First we changed wheels with another wrecked kart.1971manta455's 1981 smart forfour
1971manta455's 1981 smart forfourThis was the start of a monster being born.
We needed paint badly... so black it goes.1971manta455's 1981 smart forfour
1971manta455's 1981 smart forfourThe stock engine was weak and a joke in the off-road world.
Before we could add any power we had to make room. So I tore apart my wifes motorcycle ( a 1981 Kawasaki KZ 650),"with her permission of coarse."
Then I extended the rear forks 25" longer than the stock forks.
Built my own motor mounts, and dropped in an engine with a little more power.

After we dropped the engine in we needed a chain driven rear end, so we tore apart 2 rear axles and added a sproket from the old bike...1971manta455's 1981 smart forfour
Then we did alot of body work and here's where I'm at with it today.

Ignore the haters; it's ideas like this that founded the a great deal of car companies. Take something not that great and tune it and rebuild it. Look at Shelby Mustangs.
