Firebrid Project Update: It feels good to be underway again. Anything temporarily mounted to the car for the move and storage has been removed. Presently assessing if anything deteriorated from the 3 years of storage. Already found an abandoned mouse nest in the A/C duct to clean out. I haven't seen a mouse, but with 5 cats in the house and more outside, I'm not expecting any to hang around.

I had shown how I attach the fenders on previous postings. If you can't find it I can post photos again.

Using the stock Prius v power train and hybrid system for now. If someone comes out with an easy to install upgrade in the future I'll consider it.
