This story starts and ends like a lot of EV conversions.Purchased from Victor only needing batteries installed.Time and money got away from me and now I’m on to other projects.I have lots of information that Victor sent me that I’ll forward to the winner of the auction.Stuff like the Siemens Inverter Manual, Operating Instructions for the inverter straight from Siemens, Default Inverter Data with notes on important settings, Saidis Software, drive motor torque and power vs. speed data, ChargeStar2 E software and profiles for the Brusa charger.
Interior is rough, not much time spent on it.Rear tail light had crack in it, I have replacement for it. Rear looks like car is jacked up like hot rod, however it is set up to handle the extra weight from the batteries. Once loaded with batteries body sit level.Let me know if you have any questions about specific items and I’ll do my best to answer them.
