We fixed up the car in ICE form to get it safety checked before we took it all apart.
Thought we were being clever & saving some potential headaches. But it turned out the insurance company wanted a "fresh" inspection done before granting coverage, so it turned out we weren't so clever after all. Ended up paying for 2 inspections anyway.
So go for it: start stripping stuff out! The blue ForkenSwift car had a nearly new radiator & gas tank, which we sold, and we sold the 1.3L engine from the Swift (red car that turned out to be too rusty).
The sooner you get that transaxle out, the sooner you'll know what's up with the clutch, and the sooner you can start planning the approach you'll take for your adapter plate & coupler <--- probably the trickiest & most important technical step of the entire project.
Have you decided what pack voltage you're going for?
