The first step in converting the car is pulling the engine and removing all the unnecessary parts like the exhaust, engine, gas tank, and radiator. The transmission is left in so the electric motor can be connected to it. A car lift made removing the gas tank and exhaust fairly easy. The hardest part was getting the engine out. There was not much of room to move the engine to clear the front wheel drive transmission.
Now for some pictures. Lets see if i can get these right.
Here is the engine still in the car.

The next step is to go to the recycling center to turn in the parts for cash to further fund this venture. Before the engine can be turned in the flywheel clutch assembly should be removed an it is useful later.
