So, found this photo and it has inspired me to start a new project to move my Mini into the future. I'm going to pull the gas engine out of my car today.
Starting to source a few parts needed: 1) an electric motor from a forklift and 2), two used Prius battery packs to be mounted in the rear seat area. I will transform my car into a daily driver with a range of 250-400 miles!
This will be interesting to follow.
Sounds like a great project, give me a holler if you need a hand with anything.
Shocking. Also shocking, April 1st.

Although the picture is of someone's legitimate project to electrify their Mini. Quite a few years back, there was discussion of whether he was going to make it into a kit for others as well.
I never heard if the first effort ever was completed.
See what happens when you don't have to go to work on a Monday morning? :D
This is a very long thread, interesting if it is the same person, he posted an update.
