G’day from Melbourne,
I’ve owned a XP Futura Coupe for a couple of decades, which is going through a ground-up resto… and conversion to become an electric vehicle
Bought a converted car with the right sort of motor, controller and battery to transplant into the Falcon. This secondhand approach will save $$$, there’s heaps of expensive bits and pieces in the donor, although it was converted in 2011-12, so the battery cells are down and will need refresh.
Here’s a couple of pics to put it in perspective:
The organ donor…
The organ recipient…
The electric dream…
As you can see it'll be a while before we’re out cruising, and I’ve got a few short-n-curly tech questions, so thanks for adding me to the forum, I'm off to the tech categories.
Cheers,
Pete Q
