I want to know about that DEAL
My goal is to inspire other kids my age to chase their dreams
I first got into cars and started saving up for One at age 11 1/2. I didn't know where this project would take me, I knew that it would be an adventure that hopefully will end up with me having an electric car to drive to the beach and go surfing In.
along the way i would like to inspire as many other kids to chase their dreams as well and show them what's possible when they try

Thirteen-year-old Frances Farnam of Tinkergineering in Sierra Madre, California, bought her first car—a ’76 Porsche 914—using the money she made picking grapefruit and vegetables from her garden and selling them at the local farmer’s market.
Recently, she brought the 914 to the SEMA Garage in Diamond Bar, California, where Director of Vehicle Technology Luis Morales demonstrated the Garage’s 3-D scanning capability.
Farnam and her father Daniel plan to restore the car themselves and convert it to electric before showing it off at “SEMA Electrified” during the 2022 SEMA Show in Las Vegas.

Finally, this shell has a snazzy new coat of paint after so much prep. I was so nervous about messing it up (as you can probably tell from the video) but thanks to Anthony, Jessica, Charla, PPG, NCS Single Source, Ted, Julian, E & J Truck Collision, Rino, and Jack at Unicar autobody Pasadena this car was successfully painted by the hands of yours truly!
As you can see in this footage I was trying and trying to cut off the rear axel hub Castle Nut. It too all day. I was careful not to grind any threads too.
Primed, Sanded, and Ready for Paint next!
Legacy EV! Woah, that was an exciting experience! I learned so much from the course itself, but even more through all the people there! Thank you to Legacy EV for letting me come over and learn from you during my school spring break!
I feel more confident and safer in dealing with HV electricity!

I am Frances and learning to share this joy has become my purpose.
914WORLD You may recognize a few of these amazing people-
EV WEST just might be one of the coolest speed shops in the world. They even hold race records in EV class racing events from Pikes Peak to Bonneville. If there was one place I need to go to for my Porsche 914 EV project it's EV WEST. These guys do it all and make it work, that's exactly why I came to visit. Michael@evwestdotcom and Mark @914electric are so kind as to share their passion for electrical conversions. Matt @914Rubber was also on hand to make sure it was fun. I learned about AC vs DC motors and Frequency vs Voltage. My 914 currently has a DC motor that needs to be removed next. The temps are cooling and that means more 914 project time.
EV West is a party come take a look!
