Whatever ya call it - it's mine

I have had my eyes on this for a few weeks at a farm next to my brothers house - and out of the blue - they asked it I wanted it....told me to get it out of there! OK!

It is in pretty good shape - solid at least. Needs work...but I can do that little by little...plans are to make it a Welfare Baby Buggy - a slightly cheaper version of the Bad Boy Buggy!

THE BIGGEST obstacle will be the batteries! LAst I knew - they said it ran, but they ran over the charger. It has 6 batteries and i know at least 1 needs replacing - plus I need a charger - which go about $250!

Like I said - it is nothing I am looking to go gang busters on - but a slow project - little here, there...







Batteries!!!!!! UGH!




There is a TON of things out there for these carts - mine is an EZ-Go. I plan to paint it, eventually wrap in in Mossy Oak Duck Blind Camo Clad, refinich the seats, add a bumper with winch, lift it, bigger tires, and put some racks on it...

HEY THE PRICE WAS RIGHT!

Nice find Dan!! A friend was given a buggy simular to that not long ago, he had trouble getting a lift for it and his batteries were pretty expensive for it(he replaced them all) but all the work he did for it was less than a grand. All these plans you have for it, sounds like it is going to be awesome ride!!! Good luck with it!!!

I would be ecstatic if I couls get batteries and a lift for under a grand! Thats a steal!

I found a kit online with a 6 inch lift, largewr tires on black rims for around 6 bills...

Batteries can be anywhere from another $600 up and the charger goes for about $250 on ebay!

Check at the local golf course pro shop and look for the bulletin board. There's usually some guy who has his own business selling batteries, etc. for carts, especially if the course allows personal carts on it. Had a neighbor just put a lift kit and rear facing back seat on his ez go and it looks great. Good luck!

Yep......Mrs Hopper's old barn......yeah - but it is solid - Mike towed me with his quad and it rode like a dream - even with one tire off off the rim!
