Got Geo in garage!

After a long day at work, I finally got home and chipped the ice off the Geo (in the dark) moved the motorcycle out of the way, and moved the Geo into the garage. (I did move it with the starter motor with the coil cable unplugged. Garage door did not leap out in front of me this time.)

So now it is in position where it will be for the next couple months.

Just hope it doesn't snow too much the rest of the winter. The Geo just stole her covered parking space!

Overall, the car is in pretty good condition. It flipped up the cover over the spare tire well and looked it there. Clean and pretty. Can't wait to throw some batteries in there!

I have both mirrors (came with the car, dropped on the floor in the back seat.


Looks like the little hole parts where the screws thread in are broken. I will most likely just silicone it on there. I am impressed that the mirrors actually look like they are aerodynamic!

So what's the first thing to do here now? I have never built an electric car before.

On the motorcycle, I just started stripping everything off, because it was junk. On the car everything is actually fine except for the clutch. I would like to sell the engine and any other parts to recoup some cash.

Do I just start systematically start stripping this thing down?
