Here's a functional battery tray repair to get me by until the *real* repair in the winter during the SIX conversion.

When we pulled the motor out, the rust under the battery in the hole was UGLY. ( Still is UGLY )

In fact, I pulled out a nest with a mouse skeleton included.

You can get a lot done when the motor is out.

We repaired one rear trunk pivot point and replaced the other. Welding up the tray from this angle was quite easy.

Yes, I made noises like a SIX while I was in there. Wouldn't you?

Nice work McGyever!
I was in the that same area patching around a bad clutch tube exit on Sunday.

So are you going to start offering a kit?

Only if you kept the template!

I am actually looking foward to completly clearing out that rust hole and doing it right.

Welding is fun for me.
