These guys have done a few in Perth including a 60's Mustang.

I've been watching one of my neighbours building and converting an early Suzuki Sierra over the past couple of years.

Wondering when smashed Tesla's will start hitting the auctions. Wouldn't mind an Plug-In EV FG Falcon or Territory.

Just like formula E is crap, so are electric classics. I'm all for electric cars, but half of the fun, and excitement of a classic is the idiosyncrasies of the drive train.

lol, seeing the title I thought this would be a thread about Teslas from 2008 and Nissan Leafs from 2010.

In the video he said USD$35k just for the batteries...

Think about it though, the car is doing 0-60mph in 1.91 seconds!

Great video.
