Beginning a Pargo Restoration

[chuybregts]

Hello Enthusiasts!
Well, a weird twist of fate, I've found myself in a new hobby.

What's started as an office prank idea, has become my obsession! We wanted to decorate my boss' office with a full size golf cart, and well, as one thing leads to another, I now find myself the new owner of a vintage 1972 Pargo. The cart is in surprisingly sound condition, as I begin the restoration, I'm amazed at how good the frame and body are. Sure there is rust, but nothing is "falling apart."

As I go through this, I'm sure I'll have tons of questions.

However, my first one is, does anyone have a good primer on where to start? I've started by giving it a good clean (see the attached photos as it cleaned up great!) and would like to stabilize the frame so it doesn't rust after I get the current layer of rust off.

By the way, I couldn't find the "Golf Cart Restoration for Dummies" book, so yes, any and all info would be appreciated!

Thanks!
