Ok, So it's been a while since I posted, but the project was still advancing.
I concentrated mostly on welding the batteries during the winter.
But here is a quick post and pictures on the motor fully assembled.
The motor rack was powder coated for a long durability and to avoid rust.

The assembly of the flywheel with the motor went easily, we tapped in the adapter slowly onto the motor shaft to make sure the magic distance was set perfectly. The magic distance is the distance between the edge of the flywheel to the surface where the motor mounts the transmission. It is very important that this distance is accurate because the pressure plate and the transmission piston is set to this distance.

The actual mounting of the rack onto the car was also no problem since we already checked everything without the electric motor, just a little heavier.
