Another Metro EV conversion? maybe?
Hey Folks,
My brother-in-law is a professional delivery driver. For years, he has been driving a 2000 Geo Metro, 3-cylinder, 5-speed. Just recently, the engine AND tranny have gone bad. He just bought a Hyundai Accent to replace it. The body on the Metro is very good, and the interior is super-clean. It would seem to be a shame to not do SOMETHING with this car! So, perhaps an EV conversion? Only trouble there - I already have an electric Geo Metro, what do I need another one for? Should I buy it off of him so that in the future, I have transplant parts? Look around for a new engine and tranny and keep it running as a gasser? All ideas welcome. -Ben |
make a matching trailer and fill w/batteries?

Would putting another Electric Geo on the road be such a bad thing? The more the merrier. Do a second thread: what I would have done differently if I had to do my Electro-Metro over again. Some other ideas: make an electric built for speed. Build one for distance. Build one for your neighbor, as in, strictly to sell. Even though I have 7 Geos, I still salivate at the Craigslist ads for one with no engine for $125....
