Hey George....is that the remnants of a go kart in the back ground of your photo? I race karts with my youngest and we recently wrote his off in a nasty high speed accident and are in the process of rebuilding it.

You are correct kimbo, when i get my van finished i will get to finish it off, i used to race b4 ending up in the chair. A mate of mine, used to work in greg murphys V8 team, now works for a guy in melbourne, and they fabricate handcontrols for go-karts and super karts, so when i finish the van i will be fitting hand controls to it so i can race again. The hand controls are paddle style, throttle / brake. I also have a dune buggy here with handcontrols, and when the van, and go-kart are done then the buggy will get done for the grandkids. Man hope i live long enough to finish them all. lol  My kart will be electric start, and as fast as i can get it to go. My problem will be fighting my 7yr old grandson for the first drive. lol

How do these weather shields attach to the door? are they a clip on arrangement or is it more permanent? if there was a paintjob in sight, should I wait until painted or is it possible to take on and off? thanks

They should have little stainless steel clips that clip around the edges of the window frame. At least mine did. They are easily removable.

Mate if you can get me some detailed pics that would be awesome, i'm still looking at different set-ups b4 i do mine. I am surprised that they allowed them into the series, i spoke to someone a few yrs back and they did'nt want to know me, amputees wer'nt invited to join, different states i guess. I might consider getting involved again. I was just going to race at a local track near me, you pay a fee and you can bring your own kart to race instead of a hire kart. I went racing earlier this year in a hire kart, their set-up was so heavy, steering, and brakes needed  weight lifter arms to use, but loved it, first time since loosing my legs.
