Back from the dead - '86 CC DS
This is what $100 gets for a fixer upper cart a couple weeks ago.

Re: Back from the dead - '86 CC DS
I would take that cart for $100.00. It looks like it might be quite a project, but I like these old carts!

Re: Back from the dead - '86 CC DS
All electrical solenoids (five of them!), switches (lots of them too) and motor worked in a garage test on jackstands. I upgraded all wiring to 4 gauge (crimped and soldered), sanded and painted the body, rebuilt and recovered all seats (new plywood and vinyl), added a good set of batteries and went for a test drive today.
I topped out at 15mph after a bit straight and level. Tomorrow is a range check using my calibrated bicycle speedometer/odometer. Pictures will be uploaded tomorrow morning. I'm tired and need a beer. |

Re: Back from the dead - '86 CC DS
These are the kind of carts I think are awesome and a lot of fun to rebuild and upgrade. I've been thinking of finding another fixer upper and doing it again. I had a great time doing it and just enjoy knowing it was all from the hard work I put into it. My wife is sitting here telling me to do it again..
Time to start shopping around for an old DS. |

Re: Back from the dead - '86 CC DS
Cool, I like it.
I'm also rebuilding a 1986 Club Car, but it's been converted over to a controller system because I got tired of constantly fixing the electrics on it. BTW, the rear flares on my cart stick out further than on the 90's DS carts I have. If yours are the same way and you decide to lift your cart and put extended fender flares on it at a later date, you might have to trim the flares on the cart down to get them to fit. -Scott H. |

Finished pictures. Not professional but WAY better then it was. Going to advertise and sell it to but a newer cart to really customize.

Re: Back from the dead - '86 CC DS
It looks great!
What color is that, and did you use spray cans? |

Re: Back from the dead - '86 CC DS
Spray cans from Walmart. Krylon Dual (paint + primer), color is banner red. They lie about the primer part, you still need to prime. I was disappointed a bit but it turned out pretty good. Pictures always look better then real life.
