So here goes nothing. I'm kicking off my build for a 400+hp awd electric conversion of my 74 914. I will part out a Volt and use the drive unit in the rear of the car, the battery will be rotated 180 and go in the tunnel between the seats. A Model S drive unit will power the front wheels completing the AWD.

Welcome to the world
I have seen some people here with unreal talent. Some with great skill sets and some that learned on the go. It would be nice to have a car that could go out for a nice long drive and have it so you are not freaking out on the range left. We will be keeping an eye out on this project. Good luck.
