Bought this 2002 Saturn SL for conversion to electric and to educate myself with the process.
Launch date August 01 2009 with an optimistic projection of of 12 weeks.
I have to mention that my origional idea was to convert my 2005 Nissan SER... on hold for now.
Solar Saturn will serve as a prototype to develop various systems, I have decided not to use lead batteries as I see little use for them moving forward.
My initial objective is to test a DC 156 volt system using LiFePo4 batteries, maintaining the origional weight distribution and curb weight of 2300lb.
What makes this project interesting for me is the fact that I have no garage and plan on a conversion time of 20 hours, all engineering and construction will be on a back-up subframe.
Will keep you posted...Terry
