Hello from Maine. 1982 Datsun 210 "Lectra" Electric Car

[Rigatoni]

Hello everyone. I just picked up this 82 Lectra Motors 2+2 (built on a Datson 210 chasis) and wanted to share a photo of it. The car is very solid for the most part and has less than 4,000 original miles. The only major rust is in the front below where the batteries leaked acid. I'm looking for some parts for it so if you have a parts car or know of one lets talk. B)

Nice, even though im a "burn fossil fuels and pollute the atmosphere" kinda guy, this sounds pretty cool.

 

More pics and details on the car would be good.

 

BTW, welcome.

welcome.

 

I saw this on CL a few times and I'm glad you bought it (so I didn't have to).

Looks like a really cool project, and pretty rare. I don't think they made too many.

 

does it have heat? / would it if it worked properly. That's always been my biggest concern with the electric car thing up here. (I'm in maine too)

Time for new batteries for sure, the 200 ah plastic case lipofe4 aren't the very-highest energy density but are really easy to integrate and not so critical in terms of BMS requirements.
