Regular readers will remember Saabrina the electric 1995 Saab 900 SE. Mark, Saabrina’s owner, builder and chief engineer, found her with a bad engine and decided that she would be the ideal candidate for his dream to convert a traditional gasoline-engined car into an all-electric vehicle.

He’s done it right — custom machined parts, high-quality electric vehicle (EV) gear, and weeks of trial-and-error.

As of late last month, Mark has the electric motor aligned and installed (quite a task, I am sure), the power steering works, the air conditioning is connected and working and the motor controller works as planned. He is currently (no pun intended) waiting on the battery charger and a few other odds and ends. It appears that completion is near, and he’s already got a head for a few future mods (lighter weight components for better efficiency, for one)!

Head on over to check it out.
