UBC Electric Car Club

Hey guys,

We have worked out all the logistics with registration and licensing, so we decided to take the car out and show some people. The place was granville island. We drove there, parked, plugged into a wall outlet, then swarms of people came and started looking at the car. Many asked about the car and took photos, it was a good time. I’ve took some photos from later part of the event where less people were around, but you can still see lots of interest around the car.

I’ll start with a photo next to the Carin:

small update. We installed new shocks and started cleaning up the messy wiring previous owner had left us with. See photos.

Sorry about having no update for almost 2 months. In December, we put the project on hold to focus on final exam. Then during the winter break, the school was closed so we could not work on the vehicle.

Unfortunately in January, due to limited space in the ICICS building, we had to find a new location to work on the car. I’ve temporarily towed the car to my parents house and we will be continue to look for a new space to work on campus. Here are some new photos update.

Looking good!
