There was another photo-set making the rounds on the internet of a guy in Russia (or former USSR republic) that built an electric car out of an old Opel body? It's like the old air-cooled VWs were in the US. WHAT is it about Opels in Russia/Ukraine/etc?

I hope he sells this for enough money to compensate for all the expenses + time & work, leaving enough to create more stuff like this =) As an aside, the idea of old/modern blend is kewt, but the car obviously belongs more to displays & exhibitions, as opposed to actually being used as a means of transportation. I wish he makes something of equal awe that can still be used practically (like those wooden mice/keyboards, but with cars =) OMG that’s insane !

It's great to see that someone had the courage to make their dream a reality. Now THAT’s what you’d call that pursuit of passion.
