These guys are converting a 986 Boxster to electric power.

You can pick up a totaled tesla for around $10k, sometimes much less. If you have the time it looks like a great conversion. Something I may do in the future. I saw an X sell for $11k yesterday that had front end damage, would have been a great one to pull the batteries and motors out of.

I would love to do that, but there would be a lot of things to consider. 1st and foremost, those lithium ion batteries can turn into roman candles very easily. 2nd, getting the computers to work with all the anti-theft stuff and who knows what else.
