Looking for a cheap gasser to restore

[R8cer Ex]

I figured I would start at a fine source for such a thing. I've been through Craigslist but haven't found a reasonable one. If anyone in the Northern Illinois/Southern Wisconsin area has one or knows of one please let me know.

Thanks!

Restore or refurbish to use around the campsite with the toy hauler there?

I only ask because there are some differences in the two.

What do you consider cheap? Also, how much work are you looking to do and/or how much work are you willing/able to do. Depending on your definition of "cheap" that second question may be the limiting factor.

I watch the local Craigslist pretty much every day so I have a good feel for what's around my area so if you have a price range let me know and I can keep an eye out for you.

Here is some insight on my capabilities.

I am looking for one for a buddy who wants one for his campsite which I will be doing the work on. What he is looking to spend is no more than a grand.

Nice work on the lowered cart, read that thread before but didn't put the name together when you posted this thread.

Under a grand is hard to find on Craigslist around here (metro detroit) and the ones I have found are really old, really rough and/or really incomplete. You could check the SW Michigan Craigslist too.

My apologies. The point wasn't to question your abilities. It was about the differences between restoration and refurbish.

The reality is that in the end, we're talking about golf carts, not vintage cars - so my point is moot.

Best of luck with the cart. I'm sure it will look awesome.

Yeah I understand what you guys are saying and its all good.

I said the same thing to my friend about the price, hard to find a decent gasser for that. Sometimes one gets lucky every now and again. Thanks for keeping a look out.
