Description

This is an EV conversion I did myself and had been a daily driver for 2 years. But the battery pack is dead and I don’t have the money to replace it. LiFeO4 batteries (154v), " DC motor, Vnetics controller, eater, C/DC converter. Follow the link above for more details concerning the EV part of this car. Regarding the actual VW body: The car was fully restored in 1995 by my father-in-law in New Mexico. It appears to have spent its entire life in the desert southwest. I got the car in 2009 right after the convertible top was replaced and started the conversion in 2011. The car was rust free when I got it except for the passenger floor pan where battery acid had eaten a hole through the floor. I replaced the floor pan with a new one from Wolfsburg West. The body has some small dents and dings and needs a paint job, ut otherwise is in good shape. The car worked well, ut I don't want this rust free car to spend the winters on the salty roads here and the hill country of western NC is not the best place for this EV.

Car could be returned to a normal gas engine without too much trouble, r replace the batteries and drive gasoline free for years.
