This weekend I picked up a 96 Paseo that needs some work. It has a siezed engine, busted rear window, faded paint, and broken door handle. Of course, I only paid $325 (delivered) for it.
The plan will be to rebuild the engine or drop in a salvage yard engine, new window and door handle. I probably won't do anything with the paint. After that, I'll probably sell it cheap to a friend or family member. I know a lot of people looking for a nice small car that gets good mileage. If they don't want it I'll make a few bucks reselling it on CL.
Sorry Darin, I don't think I'm gonna make an EV. I did consider it though! It'll save a lot more gas by replacing someone elses guzzler vs me putting a few miles on it every few months. I don't have the funds to make it a full blown highway EV which is what I would need to get to work.
