Let's get to work!

Today’s the day. 22.2.22, or 22022022, equally good.   But the big news is project EV-750 has begun.   It’s day we got to work!   This is the first time a screwdriver was used in anger.   The first job, shed some of the weight.  In particular the aim of the day: take out the rear seats and a few easy to remove bits from the boot area.  We had no parcel shelf or spare wheel when we acquired the vehicle.  Who knows, maybe the previous owner also liked to remove weight. We had some scales to weigh the components upon removal.  That charger kit in the boot weighs 4.7kg so out it comes along with the rear floor mats and the what I'm going to call the bottom boot shelf.  Below you can see the a compartment for the jack, tyre change kit and a bottle of tyre sealer.  So that along with the cover it is removed. There is another little lid in the boot area, this one reveals the top of the rear strut.  Obviously that is just one more item...
