Back in June of this year Mark Ward started converting a 1995 Saab 900 to electric.
So far he’s made great strides: removed the engine, gas tank, exhaust, and related accessories. There’s a giant gaping hole in the trunk which is starting to shape up as a battery box holder and the dash has been getting a bit of a facelift.
But let’s begin at the beginning…
