Vehicle	1986 Holden scurry It is a re-badged Suzuki Super Carry van sold by Holden (GM) Australia for two years; 86-7. I had been driving it but the engine died. Cost me $200 and needed windscreen, rear suspension bushes, some rust work and carby fiddling and was very economical and useful little van.
Motor	Advanced DC Series Wound DC Chinese kit originally from Suzi Auto in Springwood which was in the same kind of van. I scored it cheaply (2k)after the owner killed his lead acid battery pack and converted it back to petrol 18000k's later.
Drivetrain	rear wheel drive with original 5 speed gearbox
Controller	came pre configured in the kit, cables, wiring and all as removed from previous EV so very easy conversion this time.
Batteries	Sony Nissan Leaf OEM, 7.20 Volt, Lithium Iron Phosphate Second hand Nissan leaf Batteries LiFeMnPO4 I believe and good for 3000 discharge cycles, guaranteed for 10 years by Nissan and 1-3 years old, unknown usage. Will be getting a Batrium BMS configured for the cells.
System Voltage	120 Volts
Charger	Elcon 120V lithium, switchmode I have three which I got cheap ($800) from an electric motorbike racer upgrading, for fast charging they can be placed in parallel.
Heater	12V hairdryer
DC/DC Converter	chinese very basic switchmode job
Instrumentation	basic BMS does most of it
Top Speed	70 MPH (112 KPH) could be scary in this car, have only driven it 105kmph top speed with old I.C.E which was feeling scary already
Acceleration	better than stock according to previous owner of kit
Range	not yet known
Watt Hours/Mile	not yet determined
Seating Capacity	4 adult
Curb Weight	0 probably around 800kg
Tires	12" standard gone to 13"
Conversion Time	about 10hrs so far batteries/BMS to go
Conversion Cost	8000 approx. 4000 for battery pack 2000 for kit 200 for shell and the rest in repairs, just spent 440 rebuilding the shocks, windscreen 200, 4 new tyres 350
Additional Features	cuteness
This has eclipsed my other conversions in no time as it is very straight forward being essentially a transplant
