Re: Project code name Cheese Wedge

I've been busy. The projects I have just seem to have no end. The 1984 crx I restored will be for sale soon, even though I promised myself I would keep it forever. I'll never find another one as...

Re: Project code name Cheese Wedge

I've thought about just updated the battery and electronics in the car, but the stock Terrell differential and GE 6.7" motor are not up to the task. The weakest point in the car is the...

Re: Project code name Cheese Wedge

Hint: The car started life as an EV.

I still may not go with an ICE. My kubota d600 is not in the condition I was hoping it was in. Parts for it are about four times as expensive as any...
