Eee Gee

Hello all.
I'm new around here, but already enjoying the information and inspiration.
Please allow me to introduce my project car. The Eee Gee:
It's a 1992 W463 G Wagen. Currently a 3L turbodiesel, fully functional, roadworthy and MoTd. Hmmm, I'm already not sure this is a good idea... in fairness to the mad EV conversion plan, the diesel has done 200K miles +, and is quite oil leaky and smokey. Also it has a 96L fuel tank, which is indicative of its prodigious thirst.
Broad plan:
- Reversible. No cutting, bodging or other butchery. For peace of mind until proven, I want to be able to revert.
- Leaf motor + inverter + charger stack. Recent (160kW) variant.
- Battery pack from a nearly new DS e-tense. So the 45kWh CATL pack, as also found in Citroens and Opel / Vauxhalls I think.
More to come...
Cheers, Richard.
