ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED That is because Steve did not register that URL, but he did register it with leading www. (add the www. in front and the URL is good): www.greenshedconversions.com (redirects to) http://www.greenshedconversions.com/Pages/default.aspx IMO EV businesses should always give out the correct URL they registered with. It would be like not giving your area code when telling a customer your EV business' telephone number. /siderbar ] Here are a couple 1980 Jet ElectraVan 750 links I found for Steve to contact and learn where they source parts, manuals, etc.: http://www.evalbum.com/142 http://www.evalbum.com/611 http://www.evalbum.com/1657 http://www.evalbum.com/1377 The ice components of the EV can be gotten from many sources, but here is one: http://www.carparts.com/vehicle/1980/Ford/Courier/Base/4_Cyl_2-dot-0L.html Here are some other links to explore: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Courier#Second_generation_.281977.E2.80.931985.29 Electric variants Between 1979 and 1982, a number of electric Ford Couriers were produced – Jet Industries purchased "vehicle gliders" (Ford Courier bodies minus their engines), and put in a series DC motor and lead acid batteries, to produce the Jet Industries ElectraVan 750. These were sold mainly for use as service trucks, generally to local government departments. They had a top speed of about 70 mph (113 km/h), and would go 50 to 60 miles (97 km) on a full charge. A number of these vehicles still exist, usually with upgraded motor control systems and higher-voltage battery packs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazda_B-Series#Electric_variants Electric variants Between 1979 and 1982, a number of electric Ford Couriers were produced.
