Honda's tend to run for a long time unless they are abused, converting an abused car does not seem like a good idea and because they run forever they tend to hold value.
I would do as Vpoppv suggested and buy electric car conversions that people gave up on and finish them correctly, you are going to save a ton of money and work this way.
As soon as I can get someone to buy my Citi-car that is along the lines of my plan, a guy has an MG midget that is converted to electric, it works and drives but needs better batteries and a better controller it sounds like but he's selling it for the price of a non converted non running car.
