I used it as a parts mover at first but always wanted to make it a go-kart. As you see in its current state I started to cut it down.
I was going to use a motorcycle engine, but then the planning in my head went too wild. Then I was just going make a basic HF Predator engined kart. But I have too much in other projects I want to do and realize the few hundred into a kart doesn't make sense.
So build a kart or a frame and wheels again for its original intent or whatever. Ramps and the dolly it's on are not included, just the cart.
Will I be able to ride (push?) it back to Chicago?

Would not recommend, while riding in a shopping cart is fun as a child, they aren't sized well for adults, especially long road trips.
Next Parking Lot Build???

Yeah but this is a classic early 2000s KMart cart. They just don't make these anymore...

They're only a quarter at Aldi

"No lowballers, I know what I got"?
I have a chrome one in Michigan if there is interest, sorry to thread jack.
Last fall I shoved it outside in hopes that someone would steal it, but now it is just starting to rust...I mean Patina.

I was almost going to add that in.
I'll do another classic for sale thing. Insert random picture of someone else's item for inspiration.

In reply to dan0 :
That's actually pretty rad.
Doesn't look very safe, but still rad.
In reply to dan0 :
That’s a cool project idea! A Predator engine would’ve made for a fun little kart, but I get how other projects take priority. Someone will definitely find a creative use for it, whether as a kart or a heavy-duty parts hauler again.
