It looks like you are converting a similar car. How far have you gotten? what motor/controller are you using? Do you have Batteries? Where did you find them or do you have a plan to get them from somewhere? What voltage are you going for?
Thanks so much for the help!

My conversion was finished back in 2010. I drove it 4,5 years and then rust became too big issue. It was DC motor at 144V and of course P&S DC controller. Now I'd like to start similar conversion but with rewound AC motor and P&S controller! 140-160V. For batteries I'd use 18650 cells as they are pretty cheap right now. You should consider finding a wreck Nissan Leaf or Chevy Volt or anything similar for batteries. Disassemble, sell controller, motor and keep batteries. Even if you only bought a battery from wreckage it will be cheaper than getting brand new cells.
Then back to controller topic
