Its not too late for me to fix the engine and sell it , would very easily double my money . it only cost me $1500 and is totally rust free with leather interior in great nick .

That about covers it [biggrin]

Try this Passat conversion page from a guy (works at Tesla) on the RangeRovers.net forum: The Electric Passat

I was actually thinking of converting the Lightweight, especially before I fixed that stinking Zenith carry, nothing worse that the stink of petrol and exhaust fumes spoiling the open air drive with the top down , EV would have sorted that problem .

But cutting the tops off those rare Lightweight petrol tanks to install battery packs would have been sacrelidge !! still would be cool though as I never drive it more than EV range anyway !!

For power steering look at vehicles with electric assist rack and pinion that will fit into the vehicle, so no pump required. Cars from the Jazz through to Ford Territory have them.

Mate.. it's the looks !

Some interesting threads - EV Land Rovers... (no, not new/factory ones)

Electric Series I — LRO

Planning Land Rover Series conversion - DIY Electric Car Forums
(looks like an relevant forum for you too)

Electric land rover re-power - International Forum - LR4x4 - The Land Rover Forum

Good luck - and have fun!

Looking forward to seeing how you go with it (pictures included)!

I like the look of Chrysler's recent vehicles because they don't look like every other vehicle on the market.
