Re: 92 CC DS gas, convert to lithium electric rebuild thread
Once cleaning up and removing the front body panel, discovered two things. The front body panel is plastic, not fiber glass like the rear body panel. I believe this is not stock, from the information I have come across? Also, apparently a tree or something quite robust made an impact to this cart. Which would certainly explain the potentially not stock front body panel.

So we were lucky enough for one of her coworkers to repair the bent frame and re-weld the cracked welds.

I hope your "lady friend" doesn't read this and hear you refer to her as your "lady friend" for your sake.

Re: 92 CC DS gas, convert to lithium electric rebuild thread
So with the frame gone for a while, took the opportunity to prep the body panels for "paint".
Got one of those 3M fiber glass repair kits to fix the damage on the rear body. Here was the first application of "filling the hole". I forgot to take more pictures of the additional applications. IMG_1501 - Copy.JPG For the holes that were left around the rear wheel wells, from the stock "fender flares", I used Permatex plastic welder. In my opinion, way easier to work with than fiber glass. Once the fiber glass was repaired, I sanded it all down, and used filler for all the indentations and scratches, and did a finish sanding. IMG_1566 - Copy.JPG Since I wanted to make this cart be as black as possible, I went ahead and spray painted the edges and interior black. I did use adhesion promoter.

Got the frame back with the welds and bend repaired. I want this thing to be as discreet as possible, so decided to paint the frame black as well as the body.
