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.    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.
