My "Bigger IS Better" build
I figured I would document my newest build for you guys. Just a 1995 club car DS gas that I picked up for $1300. Just a completely stock cart that had brand new oem tires/rims and a folding back seat.
Started off with a complete teardown to clean it. |

Re: My "Bigger IS Better" build
Using my power washer, degreaser and some aluminum brightener I went to town on the frame, engine and rear diff.

Re: My "Bigger IS Better" build
I'll be installing an All-sport Super Sport 7.5" lift, but before I do I'm gonna try to make this thing look better than new. Started out by taking the diff apart. Removed both axle tubes, and the rear brakes so I could sand blast off the rust, repaint and reassemble. The one bolt in the tranny that attaches it to the engine pan had snapped off causing a small gear oil leak. So I got the bolt extracted and installed a new one.

Re: My "Bigger IS Better" build
I left the drum brakes off cuz I'll be installing an Ausco rear disc brake kit that I got on BGW through Sunoco. Before I started putting the back half back together I painted the oem shocks, and the new HD leafs to help protect them.

Re: My "Bigger IS Better" build
Putting it all together. Also replaced the front snubber bushing. Tomorrow I'll work on the front end.

Re: My "Bigger IS Better" build
PCC...What I've posted so far is about 2 weeks of work. I didn't even put in the things like: sending it out to have the frame re-welded, rebuilding the drive clutch, and of course just waiting for parts. I've easily got another month to go.

Re: My "Bigger IS Better" build
20131107_142859.jpggot the front lift installed, tie rods cleaned, and wheel bearings inspected. Unfortunetly the r/f bearings were bad (rusted from water) so now I have to wait til the new ones arrive before I can button it up and get the camber adjusted. In the meantime I got the driven clutch and both belts installed.
20131107_142848.jpg 20131107_142653.jpg I'll be happy when I can get this rolling so I can get the lights, winch and brake light wiring installed. |

Re: My "Bigger IS Better" build
Spent the last 3 days installing headlights, taillights, fog lights, brake light kit and getting all the wiring run. What a pain.
