one of the most inspiring threads on the boards.

where else can you learn that you can redo your seats with old couch cushions,
the kind of couches found on the side of the road in every town.

Gotta love that one - eh!?
Search CL right now for an old resistor coil CC for R&D
Whatever I find will end up on these pages.

Here is my poor boy cart (1996 EZGO TXT Series):

Got it for $700 from a local golf cart dealer. They had taken it in on trade from a local high school. It was rode hard and put up wet, but it is a running cart with decent batteries. Around here that usually brings much more moolah.

The plan is to not spend TOO much money on this one, and purchase a newer model in the future depending on how much use this one sees.

Current list of planned upgrades:

- New seats (black wise seats on the way)
- Digital voltage meter (on its way)
- Side mirrors (waiting to be installed)
- Rear seat
- Spray bomb gray paint
- Upgraded wires
- Upgrade worn suspension, bearings, etc.

I like the EZGO platform, so the plan is to get a rear seat and be able to move it to whichever EZGO TXT model we get next.

Great thread about 8 yrs old now and full of good old fashion resourceful ideas. I promised a pic of the new old cart when I found it....... last week I purchased this 89 CC from CL which I will use for my new conversion to solid state conversion kit R&D

Thread started 9 yrs ago next week. While many build threads are filled with pics of expensive chrome and paint these pages show you can have just as much fun and function with a few dollars less

Yup!
I just reread the whole thread this morning, and even though my cart doesn't qualify,
It makes me jealous that I don't have a "reasonably priced" cart!

Carry on!
