Hello all you cart freaks! I wanna start by THANKING ALL of you! With out all the info on this forum I'd still be scratching my head. A big thanks goes out to Geoff for odvious reasons. I finally have enough progress photos that I can start this thread and hopefully have it done in the next couple weeks. As it sits right now she is waiting for a couple of parts and break in should commence by the end of the week! On to the photos.Every one loves photos. If any of you cart guys see something I should address please speak up...

Photos of the day she came home.

Are you going with a lift? Looks like fun so far!

lake surfer · 01-19-2014, 10:34 PM

Not sure if I'm gonna lift it. My thought process is it needs to be all go before show. So we will see what happens in the coming weeks. I have no plans to off road it so leaving it low would be good for various reasons.

looks good. What intake and exhaust are you going to use?

Looks nice!
all it really needs now is some soap, water & a brillo pad & she will look like new!

Those are some of the parts I am waiting for. I ordered the complete G2 Kit from Vegas carts. There was a hiccup in shipping and the exhaust, Gen bracket and intake manifold never made it. They are due in this week. So by this weekend I should be ripping around the streets!

I don't have any good picture of it but she has been getting cleaned slowly. Its amazing what a magic eraser will do. Follow up with a little rubbing compound and she does look almost new. The wife wants to paint it so I am not sure how far ill go with the rubbing compound. I have 90% of the frame wire wheeled and painted flat black. learned my lesson on that one. next time strip it down and send it out!

Well here's today's update. Installed the tail lights. LED 4" round. Anyone know of a good premade wire harness? It would need all the love. Head lights running lights brake lights and blinkers.

I didn't know Vegas Carts had a G2 kit....? WTF???? It's not on their site. I see that in the pics now. Wish I'd known that.....

Like the LED's!
