With that IMS looming over my head, I think it might be worth it. That kit seems a little expensive though. I know I could build the mounts myself. Just don't know if I could handle the electronics.

The costs do add up... It's a pretty bullet proof set up, I'm in the middle of tackling the wiring. I'm culling out all the non-used Porsche wiring. Renegade doesn't recommend that. I can't help myself... It turns out, I think... that the wiring isn't the bug-a-boo that I first thought. We'll see, stay tuned, film at eleven...
Candidly I think you would be better off buying Renegades kit, they've done all the work. For me there was enough stuff to deal with w/o having to engineer the motor mounts, etc. However your talents in fabrication might be a lot more than mine.
It's been a fun project, I've enjoyed tweaking where I think it needs to be upgraded. If you're just doing for a means to an end, then I would look at your costs and set a budget before you start.
