So about 6 months ago i went vroom vroom psshtt POW. turns out i broke the rings in 2 and 3. i decided that i would just sleeve the motor and put all new fun bits in the motor. well then i figured that id finish my wire tuck while i had the motor out, one thing led to another and i decided to do a v mount setup. so here i am now with just about all the sheet metal and fab work done. Ive got quite a bit still to go but here is my progress.

so before we get on with all the pics, here is a pic of my car just before it broke:
