A couple of things that I have done before today:
- Had the A/C purged. Not cheap! The guy at the auto repair shop where I had it done said a lot of people just discharge the fluid themselves, saving 75 bucks or so. Most of those people are not doing EV conversions I suspect
- Had the vehicle weighed. I had planned to have it weighed at a local dairy farm, but their scale was disconnected when they put in a new calf barn. So instead, we took it to a nearby metal recycler.
- Purchased a set of used shop manuals off Amazon, shown here along side a copy of "Build Your Own Electric Vehicle":
