Well, three days ago my wife gave birth to our second child, another girl. So a week off work for me, helping around the house, keeping things under control (as much as possible, anyway....). Surprisingly enough, I have been able to get into the garage to tear apart the Booger some more.

First off, the exhaust system: gone. That was easy. Like....five minutes. A few bolts and a bunch of rubber hangers. That's it.


Secondly, the gas tank: gone. Less easy. But it is official that this car will never ever consume petroleum again. No turning back now.


My boss is building a Miata powered Caterham from scratch and wants the fuel pump, so that will be my first parts sale from this thing, even if it's only for a box of beer. Unfortunately the engine has 280K km on it, so I doubt there will be any takers on that.
