Done! Rejuvenated '02 Club Car DS 48V

dbarrym · 02-07-2012, 12:57 AM

Finally done! Many thanks to the BGW members who have given help and advice in repairing and modifying my 2002 Club Car 48V DS from mild to wild.

I picked up this cart from my Dad, who used it as a utility cart on his property for years until it died. We bought him a new one for Christmas, and I rebuilt his old cart into a (to me!) Monster Cart.

New motor, overhauled brakes and serviced all around, troubleshot and repaired a dead charger, lifted 6", added some bling with 12" polished mag wheels/23" all-terrain tires, added a brush guard and folding windshield, and restored the faded rubber and plastic trim - all from advice and suppliers found here.

I enjoyed the process so much, I'm selling it on Ebay so I can get another and do again! Thanks to all.

Thanks Guys. I really like the red color (as you can see from my avatar!).

Surprisingly the wife says "keep it". But I have some ideas for the next one....unlike hot rods and muscle cars, I can play with these for a whole lot less $$$. : )

I've already given half the neighborhood rides around the block. Amazing how much people like big bad carts vs. stock ones.

Went ahead and added a rear flip seat kit. Now ALL the kids (big and small) want rides.

Very nice,
I like your choice of color as well!

You need a fine stereo to go in it.
