89 Ezgo Marathon overhaul

hdnik · 08-06-2014, 06:05 AM

Hi all. New to forum.

My wife and I just bought a park model trailer in a park in Grand Bend Ontario Canada. The deal came with an old ezgo marathon.

I bought a newer 4 sweater for us to use, but decided to overhaul the old ezgo as a weekend project as it ran great and had new batteries installed by previous owner last year.

Here it is as I got it.

CONGRATS on your ride and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to BGW. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, dad's, wives', husband's, girlfriend's and boyfriend's here don't care....and take it easy.

oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!

Well sir, I'm a member of a few hobbie forums and that was the nicest welcome I ever recieved.

For those interested, I dismantled her tired old body

Next banged off all the rust and cleaned up the underside with rubberized undercoat

Some of the russet areas were pretty bad and needed a patch panel and fiberglass filler

By the end of day one she was in primer with most of the dents and rust holes straightened and patched up

The rear half was a bit tricky but not too big a deal

Then a set of zip on seat covers to match

Day three was to clean, repair and paint cracked from nose, clean and condition the rubbers, reinstall everything and add a set of 10 inch wheels saved when I bought new rims for my club car precedent.

Voila...
