Gday all, been a while

I've been without a VW for a year or two now and am considering a new project. Thinking of converting a Type3 to full electric to use as a day to day city car. Anyone have any experience in these convercions?

All thoughts, ideas, comments appreciated.

Ps, Now in Perth WA

How about an electric Type 34 Ghia - http://www.renewables.com/Transport/KarmanGhia.htm

I have got a golf with an electric conversion 95% finished if you need any more info ring 03 64362331

Some cool links guys, the Ghia looks awesome (pity I can't afford one to convert).

Weight may be an issue, anyone know what different VW models weigh? May choose a beetle if there is much of a difference, otherwise just lighten up a T3

Good to see Paul, whats left to go on your Golf? Will drop you a line after I do a bit more research on the subject.

Found complete (less batteries) conversion kits for VW's from the US, $2000us on Ebay, and very basic ones for $1500 elesewhere. Surely must be able to source parts here?
