I hooked up most of the wires in back, and then one random extra, and magically the headlights and blinkers work now. However the brake lights don't work. Hmm. Didn't someone tell me that that was going to be a problem, since the engine is gone? Oh dear. I might have to jerry rig it. It's all good though. I'm still waiting on the stuff from Electric Vehicles USA inc. I ordered it in the middle of July I think. I still need to glue down the extension cord.

I mounted the volt meter / ammeter up front, and ran the wires to the back. I'm running out of stuff to do. I hope the stuff comes soon, because pretty soon horror and badness will come upon me (school will start). I really love teaching, in the sense that I really love the summers, and hate the rest of the year (at least I hate every minute that I'm in a school)
