Asinine Posted February 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 My wagon has had a good run, but it's showing the signs of 330,000kms.Yeah, I'm looking to start taking the bus, and converting a Beetle to electric. If that goes well, I'll take the engine from the Beetle, use it as a generator, and make a second electric car (plug-in hybrid) out of a Volvo ES1800 corpse I have.

RBoy8 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 My wagon has had a good run, but it's showing the signs of 330,000kms.Booo ... that's not too much mileage! My wagon is about to hit 300 000km and still runs fine!If you sell it though, would you be interested in selling your rims and tires for cheap? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asinine Posted February 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 The car runs fine, no problem. I think I'm killing (or have killed) a ball joint, I need all new suspension, paint is fading, heated seat doesn't work.The car still goes like a bat out of hell, but there is more to a car than an engine.When I get rid of the car I will be getting rid of the rims for cheap. But I have a possee of Volvos here (4), so they wills stay local, same with my brakes.Sorry!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
