Newbie and photos of 1986 G1
Nice board. Been reading through a number of the posts. Just thought I'd put up a couple pictures of the 86 G1 I bought a couple weeks ago. Cleaning, painting, polishing, making brackets and misc pieces parts, tie wrapping wires and doing a little suspension work to correct postive camber.
It runs great and although used pretty hard by it's previous owner, I think it'll be a good little cart. It was pretty well caked with mud and dirt when I got it home. This is after a few days of cleaning stuff up. Seats are at the upholstery shop getting recovered now. Hard to tell in this picture, but they've got about half a roll of white duct tape on em. Got the camber about where I want it. Moved the shock mounts out as far as I could get em on the A arms. Engine compartment after a can of gunk engine cleaner, elbow grease with a scrub brush, half a jug of armorall, and two cans of flat black paint. Stock power as you can see, but she runs good. Gps'd at 25.5 mph on a flat paved road. |

Re: Newbie and photos of 1986 G1
Thanks guys. Can't take any credit for the shortened bumper or any other mods on it. It sure didn't look like this when I picked it up. Seller was a very nice guy, but the cart was well used. He lived out in the desert on a dirt road and the cart was driven daily. The thing was covered with a nice even crust of dust. It was in my price range and the thing ran awesome. Could see through the crust that it had potential so pulled the trigger. Resale on carts here in Arizona is pretty darned good. Wish cars and trucks held their value like golf carts do. Just as a comparison if my truck were 25 years old it would have to sell for $14,000 to be on par with this cart's resale. Aint gonna happen.
I'll shoot some more pictures when the seats come back. It's gonna look much better with some new upholstery on it. Here's one from the back. |

Re: Newbie and photos of 1986 G1
Yeah, I'm gonna have to come up with something too. I want to use it to pull my jetski trailer around with so I'm gonna need a hitch. Haven't quite figured out where I'm gonna attach it at yet.
