Default 2006 Roaster with a stick Parked three years

Just getting started but a host of issues.
Rear window separation.
Battery shot from cold. I stored in in the garage with a minnie charger.
Some electrical issues. Alternator lighting up on the screen.

Until I get a new battery, this is all I know is wrong. But once I get it started again, and try to drive it, more will likely show. These toys do not like long storage.

A new battery is defiantly a starting point.

I feel bad I had to park it. Covid killed my business and then my son went broke. We had to pay his bills as well. Just this month recovered from all of it.
Life is not back to normal but it is back to a positive outlook.

When the weather breaks, I will begin the process of bringing Roadster With a Stick back to life.
I miss driving it.

I'm glad to see that you're getting back on your feet.
Definitely start with the battery. Even though it was on a charger, you could have a dead cell.
Good luck Franc!

First issue, a new battery for the key. I also need a new second key.
We still have someone who does them?
I have a blank.
