Instalingl the electric motor!
I've had "Mistress" here in the Portland area for almost a year now, being repaired and refurbished. Finally it's time to unpack her electric motor and try to fit it in the engine compartment. ( I had sold the original Volvo MD-11C diesel engine to Rod Barber, a fellow Baba 30 owner in Tacoma. Now let's see where we can fit the electric motor!)
