Wrapped up for a while…

lancia_stratos.jpgJust an update for you loyal fans of mine. :) Ze’Neon is tucked away now in New Jersey. I sprayed joints with grease, WD-40, and some silicone for the door rubber. I wrapped a nice soft car cover over her for the winter.

I shall return in December. In the meantime, Christine’s Dad will start her up every few weeks. I put stabilizer in the tank, and she’s on a fresh oil change.

I decided not to remove the fog lights. After slipping the cover on I noticed that it looked like some kind of Lotus, or Lancia under there. I moved the Corvette out of the garage in order to do an oil change on the Malibu. A few minutes later a pizza dilevery kid showed up. “What’s under the cover?!” “A rally car.” I snickered. If the Corvette is out in the sun – one can only imagine what’s under the cover. “Just a little Doge Neon.” I remarked.

So, I have to get the cage somewhat redone if she’ll ever really race. A call to Don Taylor before we left revealed that the main hoop supports need to be changed. Add that to the list… In the meantime, my Lancia Stratos is waiting for me in New Jersey.

One thought on “Wrapped up for a while…

  1. Hey, I just found this page, beautiful work with the Neon. Im working on building a 96 Neon into a rally car myself.. if you and your team could give me a little direction, it would be of great help. Hopefully mine will be done sometime within the next year or so, maybe longer. Either way, once I get done, I hope to see you all on the rally circuit.
