My Elio Alternate Project Is Underway.

Electrifying ...​

Well something went right today, a used low hours battery pack installed into my forklift this afternoon.

Boy did it ever make a difference to sorting out the factory which has been depressing to look at in recent days, albeit only a few hours before it got too dark, finish sorting the factory out tomorrow.

You dummy!​

95% there with the new factory folks, for the first time today I actually had almost everything in place and setup, and large workspace with the car finally in it.

Came home tonight and spotted this mannequin in the rubbish, so I grabbed it and might try to make it into a 'sitting in car' form, which may be handy as I'm setting up seating positions etc.

Also I will not be the only dummy in the shop now, and I will have someone to talk to

……….and he will agree with your every decision made. No ”why don’t you do this or that”, no arm chair quarter backing.

He needs a face. He looks so lonely.

whats happens when he talks back ?

Well, if he does, it always means that he wants you to find some counseling....soon, very soon.

Wow, I didn't know they had counseling for mannequins.

Anyway, back to making parts for the car ....

A Dog's Breakfast ..​

Build a car they said, it will be fun they said ...

Removing and tagging the wiring loom out of the donor car, in Australia we call a mess like this a "Dog's Breakfast" ...

Thank goodness I am an expert at pulling things apart.
