97 cc ds gas 8in. lift new build

dirtyyoda77 · 02-16-2011, 01:41 AM

Well I picked this cart up a few weeks ago and it was in pretty rough shape. Plans are to do a minor frame up restoration with new suspinision, new wiring, and a new body (not a complete rebuild nut for nut but more just to clean what is there and replace what needs replacing). Sorry didn't take pics before teardown but hope you like the progress.

Looks like you're doin it right! Keep the pics comin!!

haha will take more pics just waiting on parts from my dealer, seems like they take their sweet time. I have some 24 in. tires but just haven't been able to get them mounted up yet and the rear had some backwoods engineered spring pads on when I bought it so cutting them off and welding new ones on so hopefully will have the rear back in, in a week or so (been at the job so much haven't had time to work on my toy) but going to acid wash the frame first to remove all of the corrosion, It is a long process but getting done slowly

Take your time and you will be glad you did!

I am still adding parts weekly to mine.

cleaned the frame, acid washed it and removed paint that was on it from the previous owner, going to probably do it again with a scotch bright pad to get all of the tough crap off of it. It cleaned up nice though, also took some picks of the spring perches picking up new ones tomourrow and installing this comming week will keep yall posted

Oh forgot to add also cleaned out the gas tank had about a gallon of water in it but not no more :)

Going to weld new perches on in the mourning hopefully have the cart on all fours tomourrow

dirtyyoda77 · 02-24-2011, 01:11 AM

Well got the rear done today decided to weld the top perches as well as the new bottom perches and picked up all my parts that were on order from the dealer $197 uh when will it end should be getting the aluminum for the seat mount some time this week and get that done next week some time

will get more new pics tomorrow if I can

Oh right under 16 inches to the aluminum piece on the side at the bottom 19 at the floor and that is with the tires that are on it right now and they are 205/30r12 and going up to a tire between 24 to 27 inches so she will be high

Looks good, that acid wash did a number on the frame!

Where can you get it ?

dirtyyoda77 · 02-24-2011, 09:37 PM

I got it at ace hardware comes in a clear gallon jug and says it cleans aluminum siding windows vinel siding a bunch of other stuff it is a very mild acid they say wear gloves but i havent used them and use it at full power

(do not use it to clean polished aluminum as it will make the material dull and you will have to polish it back out
