I pretty much just grabbed the front cover off it thinking it would be a funny conversation starter about electric cars. Might keep it for use as some sort of electronics control cover.
I put the motor in the car yesterday. Well, I got it physically inside.
The spacers between the adapter plate and motor push the back end of the motor just past the passenger side rail.
I can't quite raise it up to level. Part of the side rail is just a seam which pokes down the way folded sheet metal does. I may be able to stick a Sawsall in there and trim that part away. That should let me get the motor up another half inch or so.
Also, my adapter plate it too big for the passenger-side drive shaft to fit back in. I have to pull everything out, modify the plate and put it all back in!!!
