The Life and Times of Karmann Electra, Part 3

The old cage that has to be replaced.
We started working on the car, but the dude who started the whole thing only showed up once, and then he just drank beer without helping. When I told him it would not get done unless he helped, he said he had more important things to do. The guy who road raced before quit because he said I called him fat. Maybe I did, he's heard me say worse things than that. So, with 2 guys left, we gave up for 2010.
Talking about working on the car.

Our first new part, some 14 inch wheels.

Awesome Hillbilly fuel cell! 
You think you have rust?  
 




You don't know what rust is. 


 The previous owner cut out the part that holds the gas tank!
