The vinyl roof on the Citicar is very old and torn up.

I peeled the rest of the vinyl off. The roof is cracked on both sides from somebody using standard rivits instead of the fancy ones that spread out into "legs" when you squeeze them.

I am working right now to clean up the adhesive on the roof, and apply new vinyl.

Also also stuck my head through the motor compartment with a little mirror, and sure enough, the motor is stamped with a 6 HP mark!
