not bad, I would roll with it if it were close, assuming the electronic bits weren't complete junk. I don't need the extra range, but others in the house could use it.
Any details on the conversion?

First I've heard of that mod. Thanks for sharing it.
Though I'll admit I am slightly disappointed ... from the title, I thought we had a Leaf owner who joined us to show us all the mods that improved the car's crappy drag coefficient and improved range!

I hope it has a (rear) suspension mod to go with the extra weight.

Yeah, that would be cool... I actually went through that thought process... I thought of an aero trailer for more storage when I need to lug something... I thought of aeromods... i romanced it for a while and then remembered my expenses in rehab, renovate, expanding my house... no cars for me... hell, I have always got lots to do on the black & green civic!

Today, I went online to craigslist agajn to look at this Leaf. Still there. I then went and found my wife and said to her: "talk me out of buying this car." And she did! hahaha! Turns out she really prefers that cash going into the house improvements. ☺
