Car is sitting in my garage and it basically works. It just won't quit raining for me to get a video of it.

I might try cleaning up some of the wiring today. I can't really get it out in the rain, I can't put the top up. I have wires running from the trunk over the top to the passenger seat the wiring and fixing the front struts is about all that is left before it is ready for the road again.

I have pretty much decided that in order to keep the chain working I am going to lower it to the bump stops and shorten the struts so it has no downward movement. That will make it ride like it used to when it was white. That setup should get me through for a while. I am really thinking of eventually changing to a belt drive driven off the inner axle hub to solve all the problems and eliminate the vibrations being transmitted to the chassis through the chain.

But that is a future project. Right now I need to just get it done and out on the road to see some mileage numbers
