Default Another pointless mod...

I saw a battery box at pepboys and had some wire at the casa and one thing led to another...







Enjoy!

Easy actually the hard part was removing the sol interior panels in order to access the hole into the rear compartment.

do you think its safe to put anything on top of it?

i mean, it's still a del sol trunk, and you need as much space as possible

Damn....Its pretty straight forward the only part on the sol is to remove the rear compartments, speaker panel, and the door sills to hide the wire and gain access to the hole leading to the trunk.
I got a distribution block from home-depot to make it easier and cleaner....and grounded it to the raised braket where the spare tire usually bolts to. I grinded it down to bare metal of course, and it works like a charm.

I got it off Dimi and he painted it with high temp BBQ pit paint or something....The engine was also sprayed with detailer so it looks a lil shiny...

Oh you moved the battery. I thought you were talking about the wiper insert delete. Some serious weight re-distribution going on over here.
