ev choice???

bileaux — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:25:30 GMT

I have a '91 Mustang convertible without and engine. Not sue if it's a good candidate. Maybe too heavy with not much room. Even if I take out the rear seat and floor it through to the trunk I don't think weight/amp would work out. Any thoughts????

Other Makes : Ford Probe EV Electric Vehicle, Ford Probe, Curtis 500 amp car

Just to Let you guys know. We can still get a discount on POR-15 Rust
Preventive paints
At www.por15.Com. The discount code is AMX0109 and is good for 10% off.

If you haven't used this paint yet, you will be surprised how durable it is.
If you are going to use it on a battery box, coat it
At least 2 coats. If you have wet batteries use 3 coats.

And VW Rabbits, too! Great car to convert, sturdy, handy aftermarket
parts, etc. But RUST BUCKETS! The #$%^ windshields leaked in the Drivers
side in particular, pissing water down behind the dash, attacking the door
posts, you had to LIFT the door up, to close it! The fuse box, or strip got
wet, causing endless electrical issues, Oh, same for older Jettas,
too!When's the L:AST time ya saw a Rabbit in places where there is weather?
Rumer has it that there are STILL Rabbits, etc,Out West? In that I have a 20
year old Jetta is no small miricle, It WAS undercoated and musta led a
charmed life in it's early years?Well for that matter any OLDER Datsuns' The
White Zombie woulda been mulch 20 YEARS ago, had it been born on the Least
Coast!Sure miss those simple, computerless cars! Hard around here to find
basic, simple , clean doner cars.

Electric Off Road Vehicle

spitfire7600 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:39:34 GMT

Hi all! I am a senior at Southern Methodist University in Dallas and my team and I are working on our senior design project. Everyone on the team is a mechanical engineer. The project is for a disabled man who loves the outdoors but is limited in being able to go out and enjoy nature. Our team is designing an electrically driven off road vehicle around the mans limitations. I was wondering if anyone may know of a manufacturer or supplier of lithium iron phosphate or Lifepo4 cells in the greater metropolitan area! Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you.
