Sorry to hear about the employment ups and downs!
I think an older Saturn coupe would make a great EV!
I was concerned about the size of your motor, because I actually had to CHOP MINE DOWN, TWICE! to make it fit in the Metro. I think that's a limitation in a front-wheel drive, transverse-mounted motor vehicle.
For a really big motor, rear-wheel drive gives you more room to work with.
Anyways, just wanted to make sure you can fit that motor into whatever you get.
If you use a front-wheel drive car with manual transaxle, make sure to measure from the center of the transmission shaft to the passenger-side wheel drive shaft. That's what limits the diameter of the motor you can use on the car.
Both the Forkenswift and Electro-Metro had to deal with that as an issue. I also had to end up going back and recutting my adapter plate because of it as well.
