I felt that this vehicle was very well engineered using quality materials of the day. The 1990s seem like yesterday.

We use less than 5-10 gallons of liquid fuel a month and no electricity for transportation. It makes no sense to spend thousands of dollars to convert so that we can save $20 a month and have a way less emp proof vehicle. Still I applaud those that make conversions.
