here are a few pics of the tear down and starting on the body repairs
all torn down
all the undercariage parts piled up
some shipping damage that will need touch up
the spiderweb cracking here is from taking a hit and will have to be ground completely down thru the jel coat to the fiberglass below then refiberglassed to get rid of the spiderwebing so it will not show up again in the new paint

the repairs
once you have the area ground down thru the jel coat to the fiberglass under it, make sure you size your patches before you apply the resin
after the resin is done
filling old windshield mounting holes
some mount holes on the deck lid need to be filled because i don't have the cargo rack that came on the unit from the factory
preping the dash and console for repairs

This is going to be a great thread. Thanks for taking the time to upload photos and explain them all.

here are some more pics of the progress
this is of the top with the base coat complete and once dry will be wet sanded with 200 grit for top coat
some damage on the tub where the front steering and skiis bolt on, the damage was previously repaired by someone but not as nice a job was done so i did a finish coat of fiberglass cloth
this is repairs to some more of those spider web cracks from the tub taking a hit
and some minor damage of the lip of where the top and tub join
this is the wet sanded and top coated top i will be painting the interior black and will be spraying the black on the top and tub at the same time
I decided i didnt like how high my head stuck out above the machine with no roll bar so i cut down an old rusty Max II bar to about 12" tall and here i am welding the mount plates to it
i wanted to have rubber mount gasket to prtect the paint on the body so here i used spray paint to give me a pattern and it will be cut out and hopefully fit well
here i fitted it to the body and drilled the mount holes
