Twisted Shifter Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 (edited) Please excuse my ignorance, but what is this spool and cable arrangement, ...top? ...wipers? ...?? Next to the design of the top, I think the gear shifter coming out of the dash is pretty neat. My aunt/godmother had a very similar one which she drove and enjoyed for years. Slow but reliable. The front seat may have reclined (not flat) but to a very comfortable attitude, if I remember correctly (maybe not).

roysboystoys Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 A week of cleaning , a couple days to patch and seal the floors. A week to replace the top , (supplied) A couple days to install seat covers A week to do the brakes A couple days to clean the gas tank A week of tinkering I see no need to restore to have fun. I'm an optimistic guy. Neat car 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Hmmm, 8 volt battery and no plug wires. But I do like the unusual and mundane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some battery chargers have 8-volt settings. Maybe others could tell you if a 6-volt setting would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
