First look at the rolling chassis

I am writing this blog to start documenting my attempt to convert a 1988 Porsche 911 into a battery electric vehicle. Inspired by reading Joey's Blog (on a similar topic ;-) ), I decided it was time to start recording my progress. If for nothing else, at-least it might help me remember.



I bought this project on Ebay as a partial conversion including the Warp 11 motor and Soliton 1 controller.


I was told that the car did run once. It had 15 lead acid batteries, 8 in the rear and 7 in the front. However as purchased it had no usable batteries.


Stay tuned for progress on this project, the restoration, and upgrade to lithium ion cells.
