Best photo of your build!

Post by Bratitude »

I like pictures, and i think a lot of us like them too.

amongst all the chaos here, and the blood sweat and tears we pour into are projects, seeing other people’s builds is a reminder of what a bigger movement we are all apart of. and it keeps motivation high!

so lets keep this clean and post ONE good photo of your project. and a short sentence on what it is and what its for! and if you have a build thread, link it!

i'll start:

Heh, blood, sweat, and tears.. I believe there are trace amounts of all three circulating through my cooling system and various other parts of the car.

2010 Prius complete drivetrain mid engine, traction battery up front, radiator laid flat in the back. Future plans to increase battery capacity and run it as a PHEV on propane or alcohol, but for now it runs as a stock Prius. Proximity fob, pushbutton start, and everything work. If you want to see more my username is the same on Instagram, my imgur account has a lot more as well.
