My first drive after the conversion
Hi, it’s Thandi. This week: my first drive after the conversion. The first spin, start to finish.
Also new: fit an electric motor, and wiring diagrams, explained.
In the shop: Conversion planner. Plan your build, parts and budget step by step.
See you next week, Thandi

About me
I’m Thandi, a mechanic. I’ve worked on cars for fifteen years, and I now build electric conversions in a one-car garage near Pretoria.
I film every build and sell the planners and checklists I use, plus a course for anyone who wants to start their own conversion.
