Almost forgot to mention: sold a couple more ICE parts. The 1.3L engine (finally) and misc stuff from the red car. $90. That sale represents a healthy portion of the net cost of the project to date!

Also have a deal pending (touch wood) on the gas tank from the blue car. (It was replaced a couple of years ago).
