Default 83 ezgo transformation

This is my first golf cart. I didn't know what I was getting into when I bought it. I paid $450.

Right away I bought a battery and a new ignition switch. I tried to start it, got excited but nothing happen. So I got on eBay and started spending! I got a new solenoid, voltage regulator, starter gen brushes, 18ga wire, ring terminals, air filter, carburetor and fuel pump. After replacing what I suspected was bad; I tried starting it again, signs of life started to appear. So I rolled up my sleeves and went all in.

I stripped down as far as I wanted to go and washed everything.

This cart has been painted a few times... Lots of use and love from previous owners.

Found a crack. Don't judge me too hard, this is only my second time welding aluminum.

I learned more about two strokes! I did a compression test and it was 60 Psi so I decided to get a new cylinder and piston since they still make them. Also replaced the bearings and crank seals.

I spray painted the body, cut some new wood for the seats, and double wrapped it with 4-way stretch vinyl. I made a bully/brush guard out of some black pipe I bought from lowes. Then added some old tractor lights.

The reason I bought this cart was for my little girls. I wanted to impress them and drive them to the pool in the summer time. I'm addicted now so there will be more upgrades in the future. The end.
