I've finished building eight "batteries" from my salvaged Nissan Leaf pack. Each battery is ~16 volts and 180 Ah (3P2S arrangement of modules) and weights just under 60 lbs. My final pack will be ~128 volts and 180 Ah and weigh under 480 lbs.

You can watch a video of the build here:

A writeup with more pictures is here:

I still have to wire up all of the mini-BMS circuit boards, and get my new charger set up and tested before I install them in the (Chevy S-10 conversion) truck, but my switchover from Lead Acid is getting close.
