The new addition to the family. This will ensure i have a vehicle to make mods in the garage that can be swapped to either car.

This shows the progress in stripping the car of excess weight. Note the interior was/is unsanitary due to mice infestation. This suits my purposes. Ima batt will be removed with good weather and a bypass junction cable made. Considering Lithium grid charged 12 volt or eventual alternator as future projects. Stalled on dashboard removal due to bolts. First things first, i have to get it ready to pass inspection by either Peters Ecm enabler, or swapping my other working HV battery in. Then learn to drive manual some more for the 100 miles it takes to reset the readiness monitors.

The contents of the removal. Not shown is a large plastic bag full of carpet. Weight reduction is getting hard to figure. I'm at a loss for major components to take out. I've been eyeing the blower motor,AC,Heater unit. They take up most of the space under the dashboard.
