A documentary of my conversion of a 1976 BMW 2002 to electric power
Plankton!
Car name inspiration!
About Me
The background-
I started this project in 2008, and have been slowly working on things when I have the time/$$ to do so. Why convert an old car to electric? Because I think it's fun! Plus, I truly think that electric cars can solve a lot of our energy issues. I have a nice future vision of driving my car through the gorge past the wind turbine farms, knowing that my batteries were lent a few electrons from those very same turbines... no foreign oil involved.
I love 2002's and this one was picked up for not too many $$, it's a '76, and it needs some work. 1976 is the first year cars have to go through DEQ, and I couldn't get him to pass emissions. So I pulled the motor and began the process.
His name is Plankton.

Is that a giant mouse nest you're pulling out?
ReplyDeleteOh my dearest wife, were it not for a grain of truth I'd moderate your smart$@s post off into nothingness. So no, it's not a mouse nest. But I did find plenty of them elsewhere...
