My old battery tray was so rusted out I had to remove it (along with some other rust). I was thinking of relocating it to the front trunk. Has anybody done this?
Cheers, Elliot

when i bought my car the battery was in the rear trunk.
the original tray had been removed (rust i assume).

although i didn't have any problems with that setup,
while restoring the car i decided to put a new battery tray
in the factory location and i will be running the battery from there again.
