Restoring Go Karts
When I was working at Jerry's during school I didn´t have much time to work after school. I love tinkering with go karts, cars, dirtbikes, fourwheelers, you name it. Anyways I needed a bit more side cash so I started to flip go karts for a profit. I would buy a go kart off of Facebook Marketplace. Then I would estimate parts for it after I analyzed what I would need to make it look new again. I would then put all the new parts on test drive it and if everything checked out I would then sand-primer-sand again-paint with color-clearcoat and re assemble so its ready to be sold for about a $300 profit.
