Oh yeah, I drained the gas tank and got about 5 litres out of it. Value: CAN$4.50. Total project cost CAN$536.56. Anyone want to buy a remote starter? ;)

Well, it's been a busy couple of car nights.

Last night put the car on stands again, removed the coolant pipes, got the exhaust manifold loose, and did some floor pan rust removal.



Tonight I removed the exhaust system, the fuel tank, the instrument panel, and found some free money in the form of a CommandStart remote car starter...
...I always knew that the car had had one installed, but I assumed from the mess of wires under the dash that it had been pulled.





I was in a meeting today. Meetings are always a good chance to doodle:

Well, I think I have all the panels off that I'm going to take off. I was working on the doors but realised I didn't really need to remove them for any good reason.




I also rolled it out and pressure washed it again, taking off some rust, some loose paint, and lots of grease.

It's time to take the engine out. Sigh.

I'm thinking of going transmissionless. I'm considering putting in a differential from some sports car, and mounting it driveshaft input up, with a 10" motor mounted vertically. Ideas, ideas.

Last night I drained the oil and the automatic transmission fluid. I also removed the console support assembly, and the dash.



I took out the very crazed instrument glass and could finally read the gas gauge. Yep half a tank, if it's reading true. The law that says you'll have lots of gas left in your EV conversion car holds true.



I also bought a shopvac and cleaned up my glass mess.

Fun times.

Oops.



Oh well.
