After a few weeks of downtime, I had a chance to work on the car again. The fuel system was next to go.
The fuel tank is the biggest component. It's a good idea to remove the gasoline before removing the tank (for safety and to make things easier by reducing weight), so used a siphon pump from Harbor Freight to transfer the dino-juice to my Miata.
Once the tank was mostly empty, I removed it along with some exhaust bits: heat shields, hangers, etc. (the muffler was already out - removed for clearance when I towed the car home). With the rear pretty much free of the junk we don't need in an EV, now's a good time to take some measurements for the aft battery box.
By the way, today is significant because it marks the first time I made an EV addition to my project:
Yes, it's just a sticker, but we all know stickers belong to a very important class of vehicle modifications: The kind that add lots of horsepower.
