Looks like a good starter project. I'm about to embark on a similar project with a G9. Keep us posted with plenty of pictures.

Will do. I forgot the most important part that i got it for $300 and it runs great!

That's the kind of deal I like, now you can have some fun.

I thought I got a good deal at $700 with a rebuilt motor compression @ 170 psi.
Your way ahead of the game so now you can start adding all the goodies. I've got a pfd of the owners manual and service manual if you need em.

Should be a fun build. There's a full machine shop where I work and my buddy does all the fabrication. Gonna be lots of custom stuff on this.

Got the front and rear plastics took off and started polishing the aluminum trim, im gonna paint the center of the trim the same color as the cart. One quick question when people make lifts for these do they drop the arm mounting points down and just make longer shock brackets for the front and rear?

If you're planning on fabbing up your own lift then yes that's pretty much how you do it. You can look up the one I did on mine and that should give you a pretty good idea how I did it or you can cotact Pachanga a member and sponsor on here that makes the same set up ready to bolt on, not sure what he charges for them but I think it's pretty affordable IIRC.
