Second Golf Cart build

Traded in my red 97 club car in and got this 07 club car fixer upper. pretty rough shape, beat up, rotten wood under the seats, rusted and abused

So lets strip it, i said. My bride said , OMG what are you doing now?

i said fix-n her up

So i painted it with Plasti-dip, several times because i kept messing it up

got it down now

Started putting her back together and adding stuff. had to repair rusted items and repainting metal stuff

i even found a paint to redo the seats, they tuned out rather nice i'd say.

i put all the trim back on

and presto the finish product!!, well its never really finished.

and of course here we are enjoying it at Sebastian Inlet State Park Fl. then took her to Disney for a week of enjoyment.
