Today I decided to relocate my battery. I'm a novice with electrics so I was a bit hesitant about doing it, but all came out fine and I'm pretty pleased with myself.

Before:



More painful moments of drilling holes into my car. frown.gif





I didn't jack the car up or I would have noticed that I could have run the cable through the plastic guard instead of tiestripping it to it. Oh well. Project for another day.





Finished product!



And, TA-DAAA! More space? For what, I don't know. But I'll think of something.

Now drill out the spot welds and get rid of the battery tray, then weld up the holes.

if your careful with a spot weld cutter, you wont even have any holes to weld, just grind the spot welds flat. wink.gif
