Sorry it’s been ages. My job got DOGE’d so things have been hectic. Moving to Seattle soon, and going to button the Bug up and tow it.

It’s getting there, though. Refitted the seats in to make sure they clear the batteries:

And building the battery covers out of 16-ga to protect them and to prevent touching or kicking of the HV wires:

Feel safer with 16-gauge steel covering the batteries and HV wires!
