Here is a list of good candidate cars for conversions Donato put together a long time ago:
- Old Porsche
- Mitsubishi Eclipse
- Toyota MR2
- Toyota Celica
- Old Nissan 300
- Nissan 240SX
- Volkswagen Cabrio
- Volkswagen Golf
- Newer model 2-door Civic
- Acura Integra
- Acura NSX

These are all cars that we would like to drive around because they are cool and also are light enough but have room for a lot of batteries. It’s time to look around for one without an engine but in good shape.

It’s official, we decided we are going to build a full electric car, no hybrid, no hydrogen, no nothing. Just batteries and an electric motor. We are going to call this “the Miami EV project”. EV for Electric Vehicle.

After having an enlightening talk with a chemist friend, he explained why running the car only on hydrogen was not really possible (you need A LOT of liquid cooled hydrogen to run a car), at least for a home made project like ours. Too complicated! That finished the hydrogen conversation.

We found a link on hydrogen generators to fuel a car. We are a bit skeptical, but we’ll check it out.

We watched many videos in YouTube of crazy cars we really liked (atom, etc). We decided that we need to do some type of project that involves messing with a car but will help the environment
