Thanks for the links.
Looks like the lighter the vehicle, the better. I am going to try to keep it around a ton or less. I think that Neon would be about as big as I would want to go.
I have noticed that with most lines of vehicles, they get heavier and more expensive and the model years go by. Supossedly, consumers demand more and more luxuries, A/C, bigger engine, etc.
I have heard that EV converters should try to get earlier models of cars over later ones.
I think the weight of the Miata is a good example of this.
Ideally, I am looking for the cheaper the better.
However, I did learn with the electric motorcycle conversion that a lot of little things wrong will take a lot of time and money to fix.
I think this time, I am going to spend more time looking around to find something that ONLY has a bad engine, and not much else wrong with it.
I am currently saving up a big pile of cash to wave under the nose of the seller for when the right vehicle comes along.
