No.. no..no.. no..
 
I won't let you do it... J
 
I was actually thinking that a VW Bug or a Bradley GT  would be fun to do.
But I have NO idea where to start. Not that  I would be able to find a
Bradley GT I haven't seen one since the 80's.

Hi Tom and All,
 
I haven't found my donor truck yet so I've been eyeing my '86 Porshce 911
sitting bored in my garage. To bide my time, I started trying to roughly
evaluate it as an EV canidate. Unfortunatly I couldn't find many success
stories on converting the 911 (lots of 914s though). Everything I found was
done with 12v batteries. One is on eBay and not much of a success story. A
few were done by worldclassexotics with 12v Lead Acid AGM batteries with
pretty good performance claims but at a very high price. From my limited
time learning about EVs, the 12v Lead Acids won't last very long and are
discourged. After taking some measurements, I might be able to cram 20-24 6v
batteries in there but the weight would be more than half the car's current
weight.
 
I couldn't find much on evalbum. Does anyone else know of Porsche 911 EV
conversions I might have missed? My goals are 30-40 mile range half that at
highway speeds (60-70mph).

I just noticed that I have not received any mail lately. I looked in the
member list for my name and did not find it. Am I no longer a member? I just
purchased my donor vehicle, a very nice 99 Ford Ranger, and I will be
starting the conversion next week. I'll post some pictures when I get
started. That's assuming I am still a member and you haven't banned me.
Thanks
