Anyone ever convert a Mercury Capri?

[Matt Muelver <coolcat@mac.com>]

So, I've found a '93 Mercury Capri with a bad engine.  It looks like 
the body and the convertible top are in good shape.  This is a rather 
small car, so I'm sure its light weight.  My only concern would be 
fitting batteries in, but I'm sure some "wizardry" can be employed to 
that end.  :-)

Has anyone here ever converted one of these?  I'm off to do more 
research into the car, and maybe even take a drive to give it a 
thorough look.  From the Photo Album it looks like Uve converted a 
Capri, but there aren't any pictures.

I've been reading that these cars have poor braking performance, but 
I'm sure that something can be done about that, especially since the 
braking system needs to be modified for EV conversion anyway.

Any advice/ideas?

Thanks!

Matt
