Im ready to get my hands dirty, learn something new, and create something better for my list of accomplishments, my pocket, and my earth.
I have a limited general knowledge about (combustion engine) cars, and have used the rebuilding of this car as a means to learn everything a well rounded man should know about cars... I've been able to keep it alive and going, and have made all improvements and repairs on my own without having taken it to a mechanic since I bought it. I like the idea of doing anything on my own, and take on challenges as they come.
It's always fun when I get completely stumped, which is almost every time something goes wrong
. But I always appreciate a helping hand with advice from the wise and knowledgeable.
Id like to take 'Twinky' (what I've named her) to a dependable daily driver's level. I'm a 22 year old guy living In Los Angeles but I'm not the expected 'Need for Speed' type. Though living in Los Angeles sometimes requires the ability to keep up @ high cruising speeds. I also would like to be able to get a slightly 'better than average' milage per charge if possible. I don't have a regular daily commute cycle & I travel throughout this large city quite often and wouldn't want to constantly worry about the way back home.
I tend to splurge on almost everything I get into, be-it gifts or self luxuries, but i (like always) will try to keep it at reasonable and humble costs. so lets shoot for the lowest cost. But I will almost assuredly spend a few extra bucks if it PROMISES a more dependable and stable result.
Im completely open to, and would greatly appreciate, any suggestions and help offered. I haven't committed to anything yet, aside form performing this conversion, and am still gathering information, and weighing all options.
I'm planning on video documenting all my progress so after each step ill be sure to check in with all you great people to keep you updated as the progress and the inevitable errors are achieved.
thanks in advance.
