I'm from Winnipeg as well. I just noticed your thread here and I wanted to let you know that there is at least one firefly/metro EV in the 'peg. I built mine last year and it turned out to be reasonably functional. The car is only operating on 36V with a 450A controller and a motor salvaged from an old walk behind forklift. It will do an easy 50km/h and if you take a long enough run it'll reach 65 or 70k.
Seeing as how you are in Winnipeg pm me if you want to take a look at it and maybe figure a way to use up some of those spare parts you have. I'm only in on the weekends so drop me a line then!
Later
