1979 MG Midget with Lexus GS 450h unit, Damien's brain, Thunderstruck / Dilithium charging and BMS. Running, complete. Bad battery pack...

I'm at a crossroads with this midget. The battery pack that I built was sub-optimal. And many of the cells are beginning to fail. It will be $2000 to $4,000 investment to get a new pack and wired up.

OR, I can sell the complete car to one of you guys. What do you get? A complete running gs450h powered system with a bad battery pack. Refurbish the pack and have a runabout car, or pull all the components out for your own project. Everything that you need is here.

Please let me know if any of you would be interested. I can actually haul this for a buyer within 200 miles of Houston.

I will definitely consider parting everything out and loading it onto a pallet for shipment. But that would be a lot more work for me. The midget shell itself may be worth only about $2,000. But it's got brand new brakes, brake lines, master cylinder, etc.

Message me if you want to talk about this.

what was wrong with the battery pack? any advice for future battery pack builders?

I think some of the individual cells are bad causing two of my parallel strings to be limiting the entire capacity. My advice: buy commercial packs or 1st class power cells. Don't go cheap.

Depending on the offer, I may keep the batteries and sell the car without.
