Default Should I rescue it

I got donated a 1996 EZGO Medalist cart with the 295 robbins. I have a differential , engine and all the works that go with it I removed from a wrecked TXT that I have less than a $100 in.

It needs a little body work and new paint. Should I just part it out or bring it back alive ?

I would have very little money in this , just my labor which is cheap being I am retired. Well not really retired but not working at a real job, just for myself.

No rust on frame. I have the front and rear top struts and a white top. The old style steering rack is perfect as the tie rods , bearings and spindles. Maybe add a lift kit and large tires which I also have good used one laying around in the shop.
For some reason I just like the metal body. What ya think

Yes, I have almost everything to bring it back. I will need a shift cable and a few minor items but most I do have.

I guess you could say I hoard older ezgo things plus I love these Pre-MCI engines.

These were only made a few years and not many left around here. I also like the Red with white seats color scheme

I got to make a list of what all I do need before I make the move. It would be a project that I would be in no hurry to complete. I have a large shop so it would not be in my way.

I just hate to put one of these out to pasture

I'd rebuild it, those are the best ones to find! Especially if theres no rust.
