would be good in my little classic fiat 500 instead of the lawn mower engine, reminds me of the edd china electric maserati episode
a scooby 500 interesting but scary, i remember meeting this old italian fella a few years back to get some spares for my 500 and he had this gorgeous 500 with an alfa engine fitted and did a proper professional job, he was going back to italy and had to sell it as italian law doesn't allow for modified cars like that, i was half tempted to buy it but he wanted about 15kI was looking at a site recently that has a Subaru conversion kit for a 500, worrying in so many ways
But won't they rust around the batteries
I think Chesil Speedsters have done that with their 356. I am sure I read it was using Tesla battery packs.Will set a series record for it. I agree with the idea of off the shelf kits and I’m sure it will happen but get also that it makes sense why Tesla and others don't encourage repurposing of their kit. When a back street shop fits out a car with Tesla batteries and motors and it catches fire a month later because of a balls up in the wiring they did, Tesla gets bad press out of it.
Alex and I have looked into it for the T2 camper as it would make perfect sense and is really an ideal donor vehicle.
