On the way:)

[@johnbeer4963]

Just found this channel yesterday as this subject interests me. Watched a few videos and now on the 4th in this series. I like this channel. Nice one.

[@Evbmw]

Thanks for watching:)

[@JamieJones1985]

Thanks for this series it's given me the confidence to start my own conversion on a much smaller scale. A perfectly good 2 stroke has come out of my trials bike and a motor is going in.

[@BrianVillegas67]

Loving your work, as ever, mate! Cheers from California, USA

[@ammarmdalati]

This is my favorite series, I've already started looking for a donor car to attempt this

[@stephendarbey5411]

Ah good to see all this again. I think I have a soft spot for oil, dirt and fluids. Will pass on the info that there is a diesel 1.7 engine for sale to all concerned. Keep going and thanks.

[@shakejones]

great video mate! thank you for sharing!

[@nigelweir3852]

Can’t wait for next video, weight of engine and associated bits never taken into account when comparing with ev don’t forget fuel tank and that liquid called diesel, petrol, gas for the USA viewers, + radiator fluid ,all have extra weight not in many ev . Interesting if you could weigh the other bits exhaust etc that you took out

[@ECOENERGI1]

Hey Damien, you make it look so easy....

[@crasbee]

I wonder what engine you have there in the back of your garage on the engine stand? Around 10:09

[@Evbmw]

ooohhh, I wondered would it be spotted. Secret project:)

[@So-Flo]

Where did you find the mice to help remove the engine?

[@IfItAintBrokeStillFixIt]

good progress 👍

[@robertstevens2857]

Are you going to strip out the old fuel tank, and the old heat shielding from the exhaust to save weight?

[@Evbmw]

Done!

[@corglass]

Great progress, keep it up. Any issues with getting this thing NCTd afterwards?

[@mynewschannel3100]

That has been covered in past videos and more than likely be featured in a future video in this series.

[@MrELIAN602]

Do you know the length of the engine and gearbox together?

[@anthonymaresca4839]

So can I not use a petroleum gas engine? I have the m54 engine.

[@padraigdoran3082]

what did you do with the engine

[@bh635]

Hi Damien I am converting my car to electricity, im down here in Cork, where can i get a good motor in Ireland any recommendations?

[@Evbmw]

I would contact every business you can find that deals in forklifts. Most will not bother to reply but you only need one. Thats how I got my motors.

[@bh635]

Nice one, sounds like a plan i'm on it! Thanks

[@mikespears9040]

I forgot about parting out to recoup budget moola! Maybe that stank driver chair is worth something? ? :) . Excellent progress.

[@Pats-Shed]

Good stuff Damien 👍 I suspect that the battery pack and motor will far outweigh the engine and fuel tank and there will be a net gain in weight . I think that old air conditioning units may be another cheap source of IGBT's , I'll have a look at some old units as they have very substantial heat sinks fitted . Best of luck with the build and budget.

Daaamieeen, you're doooing it wrooong, the sound and videooo aren't synchroooonized Just kidding, great job :)
