The car has moved out from the shadows, the bodywork has begun and the engine has been sent to the rebuilder (Dave Carr/Autowerks). The only big problem is the fuel cell:
When I took it out it was empty and parts of it were so brittle that they broke off. The cell is 22 years old and is done for, so I investigated new fuel cells - I have prices from $600 - $1000 for a replacement, so I am looking at buying a slider Citation (basically a kit) that is on the market. That would solve several problems, one of which is, even though the car is the prototype for the current Citation, there are some differences that make this car a little unique. Changing the parts over to a production chassis would solve these issues, but that does not mean we have seen the last of this car - yet.
More to come.
