After reading so many of the restoration threads on here I finally decided to try and save my own underpowered go-kart from completely rusting away.

So far I've removed 90% of the tar from the interior. Things look better then I thought they would in some areas, and worse in others.

Excuse the bad quality pics, they're taken with my cell phone.

The cables are in tubes, vacume out any loose rust, take a big wire wheel or like a pipe cleaner and run it up and down by hand getting the loose stuff off, vacume some more, use an air blower as well, then spray that stuff on there...
