looks very well done!
I wish I could have 2 914's, this would be at the top of my list. I bought mine 7 years ago, with the intention of my son and I doing this conversion as he was an engineering student at USC here in SC, but I got the car running and decided I should not modifiy an unmodified 2 liter appearance group car, so we set out to begin restoring it. But I did a lot of research on parts and at that time the battery conversion was a big deal, trying to get enough reserve to get up close to 150 miles on a charge. Thunder sky LIPO batteries were coming over but still so expensive. it seems a lot has happened in the past 7 years regarding this. Anyway, you have a very nicely done car. if this were a year or 2 down the road id be in the position to make a move here, either way just wanted to comment on the quality of the work and fit and finish looks very professional. ! -good luck with the sale! BTW there is a guy in Charleston SC that has done some VW and a couple of Porsche hybrid conversions using gas/electric generators , using gasoline and or/dual fuel option propane to run the generator to increase range, very similar to the BMW I3 range extender or the Chevy Volt- only he was doing this 10 years ago plus already. a generator in the front trunk is what he mounted and it was ablt to recharge the batteries and produce enough electricity to add several hundred miles on just a few gallons of gas or propane. so anyway a bump for a car that I believe is a super value (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon_bump.gif) |
