1976 Citicar Restoration

2 minute(s) of a 22 minute read

Dash before, during and after. Or as I like to say:

One wire hook up , 2 wire screw up, 3 wire *%#@ up, 4 wire drag up

Fresh juice. Eight 6 volt batteries for 12 / 24 / 48 volt speeds at 38 MPH max. A neck wrenching 3.5 HP. Also a picture of the main forward /reverse contactor, speed contactor and solenoid, or as the wife say "that clicky thing".

In trim mode. It is somewhat unusual to find one of these with the correct bumpers which were made from the previous owner, however they had to be completely redone as they were in bad shape. 

Re-popped correct decals and carpet were also installed over the past weekend. Hopefully vinyl top and head-liner this evening. Hoping to throw the juice to it next weekend however I need to rebuild the contactor as I broke a 3 cent part cleaning the points. Purchased a new electrical rated fire extinguisher this morning.
