The making of an all electric EV VW Cabriolet

This blog follows my process of converting a 1992 VW Cabriolet to an electric vehicle. As an EV it is quiet, dependable and has plenty of pep and range to get around town.

A couple of pictures to show the progress of emptying the engine bay. For some reason they're in reverse order and I can't change them for some reason. At this point I'm all set to pull the engine, which will hopefully happen Saturday morning.





This is the current state of affairs, about set to rig up the engine hoist.




The triumph over the drive axels, the last part that needed to come out before the engine is pulled.



After day 1 of parts pulling.



This is at the carwash. I'm about to hose off the engine. The tinfoil is to keep the water out of the parts that are picky.
