I wanted to learn how to weld, and I decided to build a DIY shopping cart go kart!
this spring, when all the snow was melting, my wife and I literally just jumped in the truck and found two shopping carts chilling in a ditch.

We hauled 'em home, chopped 'em up, and started laying down some welds, she's really supporting me in this.

Then, well, summer hit and the project kind of went on pause. But this past weekend, I finally got back at it but not sure if I I done it correctly

I need a tutorial or maybe guides on making a simple DIY shopping cart go kart, can anyone here help me with this?

If you're unsure about the welds or structure, look up basic frame geometry and weight distribution tips, most of the DIY kart builds I've seen start with a basic rectangle frame, engine mount, and steering column, and there should be solid walk throughs on youtube
