Conversion Cost | We previously built a 1997 Saturn SL2 and decided to build another vehicle. So we reused everything out of the Saturn except for the batteries. If you do not count the original investment for the motor, controller and the batteries that we actually borrowed from another school, we spent about 2100.00 converting the S-10 which includes the cost of the truck from the salvage yard. |
