Sign In Hi, I recently got this go cart for free but was wondering if it was worth restoring because theres quite a bit of rust.

Sign In The frame is totally rusted out in that thing. There is no way to do patch jobs to it. That thing is parts only now. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Sign In I don't know what extent of electronics you have on that thing but basic ignition and starter circuits can be made pretty easily. If it has any module controlled circuits, you would have to look specifically at those items for corrosion damage. You might be able to save the engine, transmission and steering but everything would pretty much be rebuilt from the ground up. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Sign In Jabs Hab: You spelled that "electrolisis" and look up changes to hair removal process. If you controlling electrolysis for metal it's for prevention more than a cure that I know of with marginal results. The web has that all over the place. Not sure what YouTube bull you took the bait from IMO only. You are NOT going to redo a rusted out item and make it new with this or there wouldn't be a problem ongoing now just flip a switch and it's fixed? Sorry if the wrong direction to the question? There is such a thing as "sacrificial" metal exchange done electrically almost all is still prevention not a fix. It's routine to use zincs in electrical equipped boats just it's losing the metal (alloys more than steel) or could be a disaster. Once a real disaster happens putting metal back I dare say is a bad joke. If your project was so special or so rare you wanted all rust/oxidation dead and removed you or I see that done with acid dipping then you painstakingly replace what you see missing. That's not practical in real life that I know of. Search out "Galvanizing" and how that works for metal. That's also prevention not cure. For automotive repair I maintain rust is fatal at a given point to deal with at all. Even tiny pin holes are alive with it and start all over again fast and furiously with more exposure at all. Verify by the "urban lore" of the games and tricks out there that 100% don't work at all others already said just slow it down not repair a thing, T   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
