Thanks, both for welcoming me and helping moderate this awesome forum

I am looking to convert an electric vehicle, still trying to decide on the exact car to use as a shell. I am finding that a lot of the surviving Metros and Sprints in this area are automatic transmission, which is giving me a little headache making me wonder about using an early 90's Civic coupe instead. I have been reading a lot of other people's conversions on here and somehow I think I will end up a little like vpoppv's "How not to convert a metro" with hand-me-down batteries and selling off ICE parts to fund the project.
