ez-yam mutt body swap

[nota]

I finally found a body that ALMOST fits my g-29

a very flexie ez-go 94 body was for sale cheap locally
looks like PVC when cut maybe abs or some other mix
for sure not fiber glass
anyone know what it is made of exactly and if any glue will stick to it ???
will heat allow bent areas to stay bent ?

it came with all the trim, dash, covers, bumpers, and good seats
unlike most of the other bodys I have seen that tend to just be a outer shell
with out all the other bits needed to keep rain off the guts of the cart

I had to recut the shifter and choke holes
trim the seat post area and trim the front lip off the bottom of the rear
the 10'' wheels with 23'' dirt tyres will need a minor trim on the rear
very back bit of the body but should work unlifted fine
as I doNOT have any thing under it like wheel wells
yes it is a bit narrow but is flexie so it can be made to fit ok

looks like the front cowl will be a bit harder to fit
as it is about 2'' too narrow for the g-29 front
I may need to cut it and use something to stretch/space it wider
dash will need some work to fit also maybe also a cut and space

going stainless
I found the cover for a gas grill
it has both an innerliner and a outer
and close to the curve of the cowl
so I can use it as a sandwich over and under
to spread the front about 3''
that and a cut to the dash to match
and my franken cart will be covered

back is on I added a shaved down 2x2 under the seat
so the weight is on the steel frame not just the body

next problem will be making the clubcar roof fit
back supports bolt to the seat back frame
but the fronts will need some work
may be some more 2x2 under the cowl

btw the body is a thermo plastic TPO or TEO

What's your reason for wanting to make a different body fit?

cart 2011 g-29 came to me withOUT any plastic body parts [was cheap]
I got it with just the mechanical bits and frame running+driving
can't find a local G-29 body [used] or cheap
dealer prices are insane for new parts esp for all the parts
even the repaint guys want 500-650 plus core charges if you lack a trade in body then more for seats covers ect
wanted a body to keep rain off the parts and a better seats

found a complete ez-go body WITH ALL THE PARTS [cheap] off a mid 90's cart that had a rusted frame locally
it had all the bits dash, covers, liners, seats, ect

rear fit with minor mods relocate the shifter & choke holes [ was el cart]
a bit of minor cutting to fit the seat supports
front was split and widened 3'' to cover the front wheels
SS grill cover was cut up used to cover the split [ free trash pick]

club-car roof was already owned by me and sorta fits
back fits on the seat supports and bolts up
front required some extra brackets be made

when finished
and when somebody has a cam I donot even have a cell ph myself


btw what is the dash made of [black plastic ]the part came with the ez-go ?
is it the same thermo-plastic as the body ?

and what is the g-29 floor and under dash made of also same plastic or different ?

can they be glued together
or heat melted only
if heat can trimed bits be used to bond
or do I have to buy the repair strips ?

[smokindawg]

If it can be heated/plastic welded trimmed bits will be the best material to use. Just make sure that any paint or contaminants are removed from all the places you'll be melting.

Other than that, I know nothing that can be of help.
