California Friendship 1 (SOLD)

You are correct: one needs to climb in over the side rail. That's the one thing my wife doesn't like about ours. Also, I see this one has the stock seat - it's a fiberglass shell with maybe an inch of padding on it. I believe the seat was made for a sand rail, or other type vehicle. I replaced ours with a fully padded seat made for a CJ5 Jeep - fits great and gives my wife a much more comfortable ride!

I believe it was the Friendship 2 that had the hinge opening to get in and out.
Wife uses a gel/memory foam pad on the seat to make things comfortable.

Sal, am arriving back in Houston this weekend. I'll call you the first of next week.
Does this have the torsion suspension or a shock on the sidecar? Easy to remove the tub?

Ccjon, it has the torsion bar suspension. I took it apart in the beginning of summer for inspection, packed the bearings with grease.
Four bolts removes the tub.

If this doesn't sell, would you maybe be interested in donating to a worthy cause. Becky.

are you related to sixbennetts on the Saunders forum, if so it looks like you lucked up and got a nice project car for the wing you guys are working on
Oh and good for you and everyone involved in this project, it's good to see there are still good people out there that will step up to help each other
start a thread in the general forum so every one can follow your project and if possible offer help whether in advise or spare parts needed
I know others like myself would follow it

OMG AJ YES! That's Donny over there n I'm Becky, th one who started all this!! The girls n I just took it upon ourselves to do it, and we are!!
The bike looks beautiful, it's a big white 1997 Aspencaid with only 60,000 mls on it. We found a daytona 2 by 2, (whatever that means), frm a guy in Youngstown oh. It's got broken fiberglass on the back of the body but my bf said it'll polish right out, (I think it will take more than that n he's just being silly lol)!
