    Smile #6814 Finally go-karted

    For those taking the slow path in their build, hope this is an inspiration! I finally go-karted this weekend in my Mk3.1. It's been 8+ years since I ordered the kit, but I can see the end in sight! I'll try and post pics in a bit. I started with a couple of different leaks, but down to just one small coolant leak at the back of the manifold.

    If you are having fun, why put a deadline on it? Congratulations on reaching the milestone.
