I have been driving this old tired golf cart around for a few years and although it works fine it needs some upgrades. I am starting with a Melex 212 that was made around 1980. I am going to be converting it from a resistor set up to a solid state speed control. Then i am going to add 2 more batteries to make it a 48 volt. I am going to have the motor rebuilt by Plum Quick, and I am going to lift it a little and put some bigger wheels and tires on it. By the time I am done i will have a very cool cart. Plus almost everything has to be hand built so I get to play with my welder and flex my brain a little. Here are some starting pics.

Very Interested
I am definately interested in following this thread. I bought this a few months back with the lift kit, tires and bed already installed. I have had to replace the batteries but am looking to do some upgrades myself. Primarily a camo paint job, light kit, and whatever I need to do to get a little more speed going uphills. Best I can tell it is a 1979 model (model # 79H17).
