It is a shame that it is so expensive to set a car up like yours but it is great to see someone paving the way to a greener perormance future. If I could afford it I would be definately interested in doing this to my 120Y Panel Van. I can see it now. All that old school exterior technoligy and an electric motor as a heart. Sounds like a plan. Shame I can't afford it.

Out of curiosity, apart from the obvious long term nature of your project, reasearch, different motors and setups that you have run over the last 10 years or more, How much would it cost to set up the car as it is right now?

2 thumbs up from me.
