First steps

DIY Electric Car

I have bought my donor car. It's a 2002 Saturn SL1 with 220,000 miles and a rough engine, however it still runs. I have been looking for ages on Craigslist for the right car and toyed with all sort of cars. I am thinking of doing a conversion like Daniel Lynn's car :-. The price was $900 which was OK I think?

What are you waiting for?

DIY Electric Car

OK I posted a excited start but so far have not even touched the car? No real excuse except I have two other cars to fix at the moment. Hope to finish the Volvo this weekend and then start de-ICE ing the Saturn. Had to replace the lower control arm on my Volvo V70xc. What a pain that is?
