I love the engineering that goes into these conversions but for me the parts just seem too expensive to justify. £ 12k is certainly too far beyond the cost threshold for me.

I would certainly be interested if it were practical to repurpose most of the necessary parts from a crash damaged EV that could be picked up for £3 or £4 k with maybe another £ 500 for odd materials plus the cost of a donor non runner F/ TF .
 

£3-4k is probably around the cost of materials these days to convert a small car like an  MGF. In the last couple of years especially the cost of batteries have dropped through the floor as the new generation of EVs start getting written off.
The two EV conversions I have done/currently in the middle of since my MG I have spent more on restoration than conversion.
