Many drivers still believe that the most environmentally conscious choice is to keep an old liquid-fuelled car running until it falls apart. Think of the resources needed to make a whole new vehicle, the argument goes. New research casts doubt on this line of thinking.
There are many suppliers of parts. The easiest solution is to replace the engine with an electric motor and the weight won in gutting the motor and tank by batteries. The gearbox is often kept for simplicity. Kits are available from sites such as https://eveurope.eu/
