I thought for sure that the last video was going to be called "Geo Metro driver side mirror removal"!

Seriously though, nice to see another Metro EV conversion.

That motor and coupler are looking pretty good.
I removed the flanges on my clutch plate, but I think you should keep them.

In fact, you should add some of those little kids turbine whistles to the flanges on the clutch hub. When you spin the motor, it will make a great siren noise!
