This document exists as a living document to describe the tasks that need to be pferomred for the conversion of a 1986 Honda Accord LXi (code name 'Quantum Mechanic') to electric operation.
Tasks that can be performed offline are tasks that do not have to happen in EV220/the shop, and Sheer will perform as many of these as possible. Tasks marked online will have to be performed in EV220 at the shop - many of them require assistance from the Prof.
Note that many of these steps require measurements. A list of required measurements is available, along with measured values and scans
