Re: Back from the dead - '86 CC DS
All electrical solenoids (five of them!), switches (lots of them too) and motor worked in a garage test on jackstands. I upgraded all wiring to 4 gauge (crimped and soldered), sanded and painted the body, rebuilt and recovered all seats (new plywood and vinyl), added a good set of batteries and went for a test drive today.
I topped out at 15mph after a bit straight and level. Tomorrow is a range check using my calibrated bicycle speedometer/odometer.
Pictures will be uploaded tomorrow morning. I'm tired and need a beer.
