P500 Donkeyzilla

[906UP]

Well, I finally found a good candidate for a project I've talked about doing for quite a while. Picked up a 2018 P5 that was a rental unit. He tore it down after a customer blew the engine, ordered some parts then lost interest. He said it's been sitting like this for 2 years.I gave the guy a grand for the whole thing, including the new OEM Honda crank & bearings he bought with intentions to fix.

The plan is to put a different (More Power!) engine in this, T1K/P1K would be preferred but it's an open slate so we'll see where we end up.

For now I've decided to fix the OG 475cc powerplant just because I have everything needed aside from a couple seals & a spark plug. I tore it down yesterday & installed the new crank, I still had the OG piston/cylinder from Donkey 1.0 after doing the BBK on it so that was put in.

Going to get it running and driveable for now as is while I search for a wrecked donor.

Edit, all the bodywork/parts to reassemble were included

On the way home from NW PA.

OE engine tear down & fix cause I was bored on a rainy Saturday.

I got the original engine back together and enough of the buggy assembled to run it around the block a few times.

Maybe he’ll add some caster wheels to the rops and roof so it will keep going while on its side or upside down.🥳

Right.. it won’t be the bestest… it will be the most awesome bestest ever! 😁

And as a friend says “What Could Possibly Go Wrong?”

Personally, I think he should find out just how much boost a p5 is capable of handling.
