It was a productive week for "Solar Saturn"

I managed to aquire a complete subframe with 5 Speed transmission, hubs,axels and rack, removed the subframe during the week. dropped right onto the base of the dolly hoist and rolled it out...... Sweet!..(photo)

"Electric Sub Frame"

The first phase...Motor drive train work is scheduled for the first week of September, should be in good shape for that.

Motor Drive Train.

A.. DC Motor Advanced DC FBI-4001A

B.. Controller Curtis 123C / 8601

C.. Adaptor plate To be determined.

Presently working on a set of mock batteries.....space management is going to be key!

Not ready to put it under the knife.

Can't stand the thought of having a disabled car for three months with crap scattered everywhere. so the engine removal shall be the final phase, not the first.

I am going to locate a sub frame complete with 5 Speed gearbox, rack and pinion, drive shafts, hubs and brakes...This "Electric Sub Frame" will be a stand alone running system which will be interchanged with existing gas system at the final project phase.

Got a little shopping to do!
