I picked up some decent-ish front fenders on our recent road trip which meant I could sacrifice my existing front fenders.  The front left fender wheel arch on the rear right quarter panel, fits not too bad.   Could stand to drop a little further at the back end and I’ll have to abbreviate the front end of the arch and blend it into my ‘rockers’.  See: “Not doing a museum level restoration”.

As far as the drivetrain part of the project goes, I’ve received the controller from Ireland, a case and connectors from Aliexpress, and an inverter wiring harness from California.   Also got a throttle pedal from a Honda Fit.  I need to start crimping pins and wiring up the controller and then I should be able to spin this thing up on the engine stand.

I’ve also started documenting the wiring connections between the inverter, controller, throttle pedal, and transmission.
