The project begins






Matt and I brought the car to the car port where we will be doing the conversion. We got an early start, broke the tools out and started preparing to take ICE engine out. Things went petty smooth, we realized we did not have a 10 mm socket that slowed down things a bit.
. We have a Chilton manual and were more or less following the directions there. The major roadblock we hit was taking off the exhaust, as the bolts would not move. We eventually resorted to breaking out the Dremmel and cutting through the bolts.
We have a block and tackle set up so next time we are going to pull out the engine. Guys, wipe those grins off your faces, this is supposed to be hard work. We put in about 4 hours today.
