Default spiderbox build (front end done)

Hola! well I just sold my yerf dog 32001 and picked up a spiderbox that needs some tlc.

The yerfie clearly has taken a beating and needs some help. The whole front end looks terrible. I'm hoping I will be able to at least keep the a-arms and spindles. I know for sure that the center box will need to be replaced. What gen yerf dog do I have?

I'm not sure but it doesn't look like the a-arms are the even type. So I might have the first gen?

Oh this doesn't look right either

For now I just want to get the front end fixed and then go on from there. I also need a new wiring harness since the guy had a scooter harness and it's too short and all over the place. I've also looked at ********** and plan on upgrading to better ball joints and BDX S2 shocks (if I have a the gen 3 suspension). I'm getting rid of the tiny 13" tires in the front and replacing them with some spiderbox rims/tires I have already. I planning on getting hubs in the front and going with 18" tires.

Overall the kart is in pretty good shape except for the front end. Brake also needs some work (thinking line is busted since it wont bleed). But the engine runs great. The guy said he rebuilt it (idk if that's a good or bad thing regarding the way he rigged the rest of the cart).

Comments/info/tips/recommendations would be greatly appreciated
