Bonded fabricated rear fiberglass panel to the body and beginning to trim it out. Next I have to get back to reinforcing the rear wheel arches and body area around the rear naca ducts as the body flexes and keeps cracking the gel coat and glass work. The rear wing and supports have cracks at the joints that need to be redone. The front end is in very good shape.

It's been awhile but I have finally moved on to the next phase of the body restoration. After trying to repair the cracking gelcoat I decided to have a professional take over and repair the gelcoat.I delivered the body on monday to a boat repair shop in Dana Point and it will take about a month. I've also located a Tecumseh 5hp industrial gas engine with an electric start that is on its way. I've now got a couple of options for engines. Going to start on the frame repair this coming week so I hope to be able to add more to this thread as the body and frame progress.

Picked it up from the Dana Point boat shop that was doing the re-gelcoat. Awesome job being that it was all done by hand.
Next step is to get work on the chassis and the fitting the Tecumseh engine that I have obtained.Attached Image

Need some help. Does anyone that saw this at Rennsport Reunion know who the owner might be. I saw this in Magnus walkers Facebook and it's the only other kart like mine I have been able to find. Thx.


I think Todd from LA Porsche Dismantler owns that one. I know he has one stashed above his office.

Thanks jeff. I'll have to follow up on it. My understanding is that there were only five of these built. I'm about to post some pics of one that sold last summer that was once owned by the former owner of A.I.R. Products the fiberglass guys in SoCal.

Thanks. You should hear the reactions when I tell people I'm restoring a go kart. It's like grow up........until you tell them how significant a vehicle this is.

NOW would be the perfect time to pull some molds offa' that thing. Sell a few copies and that would give you a free 936JR to keep.

Heck now you got me thinking about it again.

Wow! I'm so glad that you finally chimed in! History on these is sparse. I'm in the process of repairing the frame as it was damaged. The original motor was long gone and I have secured another Tecumseh 5hp with electric start. Its beIN fitted as apart of the repair and aligned with the transmission. Going kinda slow but it will be done right. Maybe ready for 2018 Rennsport or Monterey Auctions we'll see. I need some $$ to fund my two 914 sixer projects. This belongs in someone's mancave or serious Porsche collection.

A bit more than pulling molds off it,made from a heap of small parts to make this body it just isn't that easy.
When you repair a glass body you relieve the cracks in the gelcoat with a die grinder and fill the grooves with resin and rovings or chop up glass mat and add it to a little resin,then go under the body and find why it cracked to start with,thats how you will know.
