I am sure I am not the only one on here who admires but doesn't own a c-car. BUT I came across a 1980 Citicar that needs a complete restoration ... apparently...
Kind of hard to tell without pictures. If it has been sitting outside for ten years there will be issues. Parts can come from lots of places. Cars, golf car...
Thanks. I attached 2 photos in the folder "field find". It looks rough. My biggest concerns were body damage and BIG parts ... like a bumper. I don't think...
That's not too bad on the outside. The bumper is no big deal. People have made pretty good ones out of wood, pipe, and old Dodge Omni bumbers. I'd offer $150...
Hi everyone. I just completed a 7 month nut & bolt restoration (less the painting) on a 1976 Citicar which is 100% factory original. I even redid the motor...
After a lot of consideration, I've decided to use my existing body to make molds for a new fiberglass body. It would be cheaper to layer right over the top of...
Also check with www.buggiesunlimited.com, and http://store.mountainridgegolfcarts.com/. I actually ordered most of my parts from the MountainRidge as they...
Let me make sure I'm reading your statement correctly... you are going to make molds, therefore would be able to reproduce multiple panels of the same,...
It seems to be lacking most of the electrical equipment. The motor is there and there is a controller, but the condition is unknown. The controller is a...
I built a cradle and attached it to a trolley jack so I could easily lower the heavy motor from the car and lift it back up again when it comes back from the...
Well, I decided that rather than wait 45 minutes for my prescription to be filled that I would run to the neighboring town and pick up Ellie's motor since I...
Amphis are cool! If I ever had the chance to grab one I would. We used to have an independent Volkswagen repair shop nearby that always seemed to have one or...
Here's the method I use to remove/install the motor. I have done this on both a CitiCar and CommutaCar. I wrap the strap of a heavy-duty ratchet tiedown...
Here's another Craigslist Comutacar for sale: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/1249759575.html 1980, blue, $2800. Looks to be in good shape by the...
The cradle looks good! I use a more primitive method - For a Comutacar I stack 2X8's under the motor until they just touch the motor and loosen the four...
The motor on my 76 a body must be lighter than all of yours. I've removed mine a hand full of times. Just pull the speedo cable off, the four bolts from...
thanks for nice photo essay. are the rear wheels higher than the front ones. found out at community assoc meeting that I have been blogged about and there was...
Couldn't say if stock or not. But Mo`o has shackles that are on the rear leaf springs, and some of the framing has been shaved. Lance, Honolulu, #455...
After removing my old motor twice in two weeks, then installing a new D&D; all I can say is it's conceptionally easy, but really hard on the body if you are...
... Hello Andrew, Regarding bumpers, Jim Sibbing shaped oak boards like the bumpers and coated them with spray-on bed liner. They looked very nice. Also, EV...
Spoke with Tom at Custom Electric in Cleveland today... He has the brush holder for $62 and the double wire heavy duty brushes for $4 a piece... I will be...
I spoke to Glenn from EV yesterday and he said that he was not closing up shop. He is going to check into what to use for kingpin bolts for me. I found him a...
I'm glad to hear that Glen is keeping EVPerforamance running ( http://www.evperformance.com/ ). He does have a lot of parts that we can't find elsewhere. That...
