The Solectria runs!
Yesterday I was able to check all the connections and did a quick test run of the drive train. It all went well so I put the car on the ground and did a few runs up and down the drive way.
I did notice that the throttle has a broken spring and has not been maintained at all. Once the rain stops I'm going to test the potbox to make sure it is sound electrically, but the car does drive! There is a problem with the air conditioner but it's not necessary for getting the car on the road.
This week I am going to properly mount the charger, temperature sensors and ventilation fans and prep the body for repair. I'm going to take a few photos of the damage down to the body shop for a quote.
