I don't see how this conversion makes much sense. He started with a generator that was junked because the ICE was shot. He could have replaced that ICE with an off the shelf 4 cycle engine for under $1000.00. Instead, he's got a car that even as junk was worth half what the new engine would cost, with the space requirements that come with a car, the investment in electronics and build, and the net result is a junked nearly 200hp car running an generator that can only use maybe 10HP tops. A great job of McGivering up something, but I can't imagine why anyone would do the second one.

It's a super cool learning experience, and that's the value.

electronics aside, you think fewer people can repair a toyota than a random generator? and i'm just talking about common-ase-tech-knowledge type stuff, to say nothing of the availability of parts.

When you disengage the cruise control clutch the car is still drivable, and he uses it to hoist around stuff and weld things.
