Bens saga is chronicled in
his thread in the Fossil Fuel Free section. It's a great read.
Another good one is Paul's
VERY entertaining thread that records his VW bug conversion.
And of course there's the grandaddy-electric-Metro-conversion-thread,
Project Forkenswift.
I've never even
ridden in an EV, but I'm sure I could convert a Metro to electric in my sleep after reading these guy's threads! They're great!
