1988 Marathon Rebuild

sak00 · 11-19-2009, 04:22 PM

I got a little farther. New electrics are in and I have paint the frame and rear end. New brake cables are install. I ordered some new brake shoes, but they are no where near what are on my cart. I guess someone must have changed out the rear end on me. Anybody know what I have??

I have been doing some body work and have started painting. The tire mock up was somebody being funny.

The red is going to look good. What kind of tires are you going with?

sak00 · 11-19-2009, 08:45 PM

I'm still trying to make a final decision. I want an offroad tire with a nice looking wheel. I think a 22" tire will look real good. I'm still trying to figure if I want to go with a 10 or a 12" rim. Although, this will be a campground cruiser for the most part.

Well the paint is done. And I started to assemble the body.

Would you believe rustoleum shined up like this?
New brakes shoes just came in. I have new cables already on.

Now the ordering of seats, batteries, and tires/wheels.

Beautiful finishing work! Looks great

Today was a busy day. Brakes are on. New brake cables installed and hooked up. Floor mat and side molding put on. Front cowl installed. Starting to look like a cart again. I ordered my new seats today. I guess my next step is to start on the wiring. She is getting all new 4 ga. wires.
I'm still not sure how I'm going to do a brush bar yet, but that is in the plans too. Rear seat cushions are coming, so I will start building the framework for that too. I want to make a folding flatbed. We will see when I start building as to what I end up with.

Hey man, would you happen to have a controller and the reverse/forward switch? My marathon is an 89 i think if that means anything

No Sorry, mine is a resistor cart and spare parts are scarce.

I do have a full brake pedal, gas pedal, and some resistor parts left over.

Here is a sneak preview as to how far I have gotten so far. The seats came in last night. Now I have to hunt up some steel for the rear seat frame work. I'm so excited I couldn't sleep last night. I hope this gets done soon. This has seemed to have consumed my life lately. Not sure how the wife has put up with me so far.
