Started a rebuild on a rxv

I'm not real good at remembering to take before and after photos. But I'll try.

Thought of car theme.
Bought some parts.
Started with what I got.
Phase 1 Cleanup
Disassembled some
Repainted windshield and roof struts
Power washed roof
Vacuumed and clean battery compartment
Touched up paint inside under seat
Replaced bolts, nuts, seat latches.
Used dremel to sand/clean all battery connections
Used h2o & baking soda to clean batteries
Drilled holes for side mirrors and hole to run turn signal wire down windshiled frame
Attached temperature sensor for ex-ray speedo to motor
with silver tape

When I get home I'll post a picture of the piece that gave me fits.

Best thing. When I put the batteries back in, reattached the wiring, double check my work, and turn the key... it was all good!

Here's the old and new. I think it's a battery strap.

Ouch. On the passenger side I scrapped my forearm with every @ 1/8 turn.
