1997 EZ Go Medalist Rebuild

[Smee112488]

Hello all,

I'm kinda killing two birds with one stone here but my name is Jordan Chapman. This is really my first experience with owning a golf cart. I was able to get one from my wife's aunt for free checked the serial numbers through EZ-GO and it turns out it is a 1997 Medalist 36v. It just quit running on her and has been sitting in the same spot for between 5-7 years, so needless to say it is going to require a good bit of work. I've been juggling trying to work on it myself, or taking it somewhere and given the fact that it won't even roll at the moment that kinda complicates things.

I have been pleased with the amount of help I've received so far on this forum and I look forward to finishing this build. My goal is to have it finished by beach time this summer because Ocean Lakes is very proud of their rental carts...lol.

I will be posting pictures probably later this evening of the current condition of the cart, also any help on where to start would be greatly appreciated.

The plans are, probably in this order...
1. Address issues that come with it setting that long (new batteries/wiring)
2. Get it running
3. Fabricate a rear seat and replace front seats
4. Freshen up paint and aesthetics of same
AND
5. lift and tires (probably next year)

Thanks in advance for all your help...
