Hello all
New project. 1970, no rust other than surface rust from 38 years in the Arizona desert. I am going to convert it to electric. This is an upload test:  |

Interesting article on the realities of the EV movement 8/22/21
The tough calculus of emissions and the future of EVs Personally I wouldn't convert a 50 year old Porsche that's increasing in value as is. There are much better newer commuter vehicles to choose from. The 914 was built as light as possible using the thinnest sheet metal possible. Putting heavy batteries in places it wasn't designed for stresses the chassis. I've seen the cracks. Calling a 914 the perfect donor is a naive lie. Or swap to a Subaru with a cat and be as clean as a new car without the pitfalls and costs of EV. |
