PVX build thread: one view from the slope

All of us that ride the slippery slope arrive at different destinations. In return for all the inspiration I’ve gotten from this board I’d like to share my current ride. Five years on the slide and getting close to hitting bottom.

A huge thanks to everyone at WEVO for making it possible. It's been great fun!
First a snapshot of where the car is at now:

And a quick clip with sound!
So that’s where it’s going, but of course the fun’s in the journey. That journey in pictures follows.

I realize now that despite all the photos more details than I can remember are not captured here. Structural reinforcement members run inside the factory panels, extra welding to stiffen the structure, LED lights, changes to the wheelbase... The list goes on. And I’ve still got too many photos! Enjoy,
-Pete


This was before Hayden and the crew at WEVO were involved, so I did some FEA for chassis stiffness in the cage design.


Making room, relocation:


Custom fenders due to the wheel relocation:
