Mechman, an Echo may be a good option too. You could even use it as a family car once in a while. With lithium you shouldn't need as big a pack to get the same range. I bet you could probably keep a Echo or Tercel at its original weight and have much better performance and the same range. I think what you've done with the booger is awesome, but given its current condition, I can't imagine you selling it easily or for a whole lot. I think you would be better to dismantle it and sell off the batteries and other good bits that you can't reuse. Just my opinion. Good luck and looking forward to where you go from here.
