So we’re all in on the outlander
Rear motor, inverter, charger purchased.

Glad you bought the outlander motor I linked. I was getting the desire to buy it and I have no need for it!

i had to, they offered me it for £99, i got all 3 for £225, all 2016 and all grade a so less than 60k, some even come with hv cables

So no changes to any of the chassis and suspension allowed

correct tom, i believe can use hi-lo's or coilovers on the suspension as they are replacement aftermarket parts and are fully reversable. i can pretty much do anything with the subframe if i use coilovers, won't need to though with the outlander, basically no cutting drilling or welding to shell. im not sure whether i would get away with removing the front end, replacing the inner wings with brace bars and fitting a grp flip front, this is a common change on classic mini's but it seems to be a bit of a grey area, it would create massive amounts of room cause you could tub the arches and fill the wings with batteries. this may still be possible as there is the radiator cowl on one inner wing and a grille on the other, they would just be tricky to mount without drilling

Getting your EV conversion past the DVLA is stressful enough when you haven't drilled, cut or welded any part of the chassis.
If you can avoid doing that I would.
