I do plan on converting my MR2 at some point in the (probably far) future.
However in that case I'd probably keep the transaxle for sake of simplicity and the torsen differential inside of it.
All new custom driveshafts, a new torsen differential and so on would make things rather complicated and even more expensive.
In 5-10 years prices for batteries, electric motors, controllers and chargers should come down further and maybe some parts can be harvested from crashed cars.
