$750 -- come and get it!


Unethically outdated photo of a much shinier and much less rusty ForkenSwift

I went to move the ForkenSwift yesterday and... no brakes.

Rust, I assume. That seals its fate! It's not going back on the road this summer.

So!

Anybody want a low/medium speed electric car kit in a rusty blue box?

The car itself probably isn't worth fixing (floor), and I plan to keep some glass/panels/doors etc. for the Firefly convertible I have in cryogenic storage, awaiting restoration.

But you can tow/trailer the shell home with all the guts in place. $750! Do it! You know you want to. Another Suzuki/Metro clone platform in good shape would make for a plug 'n' play swap.
