Thanks For Your Support! 

I have lots of stuff going on until school is out.
As you can see my schedule is jam packed. I don't have a free weekend till the week school ends.

This will slow my progress on the car, and i wont have much to update.

Sold the Starter

I sold the starter for $20 Posted by Jake Garrison at 5:46 PM 0 comments 

I have four things to do before i purchase the rest of my EV stuff.
After all of this is done, I can proceed on and purchse all of the liitle components to wire it all together. That will be the final stretch of the project.

I plan to finish sometime in the middle of summer, and then it will just be some tidying up and optimizing to get it perfect.

Nevertheless, the final product is very far out of reach right now.

Today's Accomplishments

Today, I woke up excited to put on the newly assembled Quad Grill on the car. Here is what it looked like Everything fit in great!!

Next i re-finished everything plastic and back on the exterior using Kiwi Leather Dye.

In about 4 hours i cleaned, removed the oxidation, and applied the Kiwi on the rear bumper, my two front bumpers, the mirriors, wheel arches, trim, grill and handles.

I applied 2 coats to get rid of some of the streaks.

Here are the results. It turned out great. Everything black looks new. The next step is to buff up the paint Posted by Jake Garrison at 8:26 PM 1 comments Re-blackening Project

My bumpers, trim and wheel arches are nearly ash grey, and should be black. After a bit of research, i found out the best fix resides in black leather shoe dye, specifically Kiwi You basically apply it like paint, but it soaks into the old plastic, instead of creating an additional layer like paint would. The paint would not stick well since the bumper has been oxidized after years of being in the sun.

Ill post pictures when i finish my little science experiment

Over hours of scratching my head, i finally got the headlight assembly set up.

Caylee cleaned it all too Posted by Jake Garrison at 1:22 AM 0 comments Controller Kit Details

This kit has over 200 pieces and there is a ton of room for error. Im going to try to get help from an electric engineer.

Basically all im doing is soldering tons of components to a circuit board, then bolting together the housing. Seems easy, but its not

Here are some pics of it still packaged... Posted by Jake Garrison at 1:14 AM 0 comments
