Hello There.

I’ve been kind of a lurker of electric conversion forums for a rather long time, at least… six to eight years? Thereabouts since I was basically a teen. So I’ve had a lot of secondhand knowledge of conversions for a while now, though I gave up on trying anything for myself for a number of reasons.
Mainly not having a car or having the money for it, I still don’t for that matter though I do and did have an income for some time… just need to build up funds again. Mainly I’ve been looking into research for converting cars relatively inexpensively and relatively… easier if only because parts are orders of magnitude more available due there being far more OEM electric cars. Though I also have to be realistic about my own skills, I’ve literally only taken a single auto shop class in high school, and passed certification for it… so about four or five years ago. Though I do have an uncle who’s a mechanic and I believe has worked with hybrids in the past.
So my current plans for an electric car conversion is… definitely a while off. Mainly I’ve been thinking of an E46 because it’s been done in the past and I like the car itself.
I would likely use the ZombieVerter VCU, and a hybrid motor, L110 maybe? But again that’s a distant aspiration. Honestly I might end up starting with a bike or something, who knows.
Mainly I’ll probably need to look up videos and do more research to refresh my memory on car conversions, and wanted to ask if anyone on here had access to any guides, videos maybe? This is for way later though, probably gonna start on a bike, so I’ll likely go to Endless Sphere later for that.
