    LOL... looks like a parts truck... with most of the parts missing. I'm thinking this was cut apart for a good reason... for the life of me I can't figure out what it may be tho....

    They actually came from the factory like that here, it's called the T3 body. The roof is not cut, it was just never spot-welded on. If you look in the front of the parts book, it shows a picture of it. It can go places it otherwise wouldn't here on the golf course, such as cart paths with low hanging branches. They didn't have doors either. Instead they had simple bars that latch. I took them off because they rattle and squeek, and suck to get in and out. I'll probly build an "oh ****" handle for the passenger side soon. It's designed for turf use only. The speedometer only goes to 30mph, and with it's gearing, (before the new tires) it would top out 4th around 40mph.

    Ironically, they also sold a fiberglass roof kit. The previous owner had one on some S65's, but left them on when they were scrapped. :frustration:

    Mine had similiar origins. Are those scooby snacks in the lock box?
