Porsche 928 EV project / Removing the V8 (Ep.10)

The old Bastketcase Porsche 928 needs a lot of tidy up and weight reduction. Starting with the V8. Today it comes out. And I bid at auction for a crashed written off Tesla Model S. How exciting!
Want to see what Wayne's up to with his Honda S2000 EV conversion.

Auction was cool! Stressful to watch!

[@markedwards4879]

Shame about the 70D, but with any luck another one will come along, preferably without the rear suspension damage.

[@jmccabe928]

Finally, someone else crazy enough (I mean brave enough) to convert a 928 !
Look forward to following you guys along the way.

[@jmccabe928]

Don’t buy a salvaged Tesla sight unseen. Salvagers know the value of the battery and often remove modules and reinstall pack case !

[@inCARnationAustralia]

Good advice thanks

[@nigelgraves8784]

I think your mouse did you a favour there ! Also - if the MG swap will give you Porsche 928 performance, you could save yourself £10000 and do a full swap with what you've got. Do you really want a Porsche 928 that will do 0-100 in 3s and shred tyres every fortnight ?

[@billhill4479]

Another great video. Really like how you are talking about all the aspects such as buying cars at auction etc. Great information for the newbies like me.
How much would that Tesla have cost you including sellers fee and transport costs were included ? That needs to be factored in.

[@inCARnationAustralia]

Thanks. Pickles Salvage Auction fees 15%. Transport across town about $180 if I can find a towie who's prepared to hang around a few hours while they find and fork-lift the car.

I like an IT team of 3.

[@inCARnationAustralia]

The third person being a manager, whose major task is to shield the other two from interruptions, find out what they need to proceed, and host a daily stand-up five minute progress/daily goals meeting. Is that right?

[@Story-Voracious66]

Hi Stu,
so sorry you didn't get the Tesla 😒, but maybe fate is looking after you; it might not have been in good shape, (it sounded a little bit dodgy).
🤞🏼for the right things to come along.
Matt is intrepid! A spelunker of mechanicals.
👍

[@inCARnationAustralia]

There will be another 👍

[@georgedory2919]

Great project. Maybe I missed something but before stuffing the newly empty space in the front with a battery box keep in mind you will need space to install a steering rack.

[@inCARnationAustralia]

The standard Porsche rack tucks beautifully underneath the cross member. But we do need a small electric power-steering pump and reservoir. Easy peasy.

[@adriancnolan]

Sorry to hear you didn't get the Tesla S.

[@inCARnationAustralia]

It's a long project. There'll be another one ...

[@douglasford4454]

Hi Stu, Thinking about your busted differential, what you need is our warranted 20000 mile diff unit. Perfect. If the price is right I'll chuck in the auto box for you to keep as a spare. Let me know a contact email and I'll be in touch with details. Cheers, Doug Dangerous.

[@inCARnationAustralia]

Thank you Doug for the offer but the drivetrain has already found a new owner. And while the teeth were scored I wouldn't say busted.
