Plan

I'm probably going to leave the interior gutted during the conversion process because i have to run wires across the car.

Next weekend, i am going to seattle and plan to get new headlights and a grill. I also am going to make my first EV purchase. I'm buying a $600 kit that will allow me to build a controller. Buying one already built is $2000, so im glad i found thia kit.

a controller limits the amount of energy the batteries send to the motor. It basically connects to the acceleration pedal and clutch and sends more energy to the motor when i push on the acceleration.

The motor and controller are usually the most expensive components of an EV

Building the controller will take a lot of work. I have to solder tons of components to a circuit board, program a mini computer and NOT mess up. Im hoping to get some help from an electrical engineer.
