Electric Conversion

Has anyone done an electric conversion on an R56? I think I've seen it done on the older cars but not this gen. Not counting the Mini E obviously.
My engine is not looking so great, so this is my plan B.

Thanks, I also found a guy that converted a Clubman years back. I'm making a last ditch effort to fix an oil pressure issue...then I'm going this route.

Yeah, I was going to mention the Clubman.

If you end up doing it, let us know if you'll be documenting it somewhere. I loved my R56, and would love to have an electric one since the engines are... not the best.
