      I suppose turning it into an electric car would be “better”, but it also wouldn’t be as interesting for a video. Again, not a car person, but there should be plenty of people who give vintage cars electric motors and other comfort features, no?

        Plus this is a very small car, no room for batteries, and the suspension isn’t designed for the weight.

          You could swap the suspension, and upgrade the supports to deal with the weight, but there comes a point where you’re just lifting the body and putting it over an entirely new car.
