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

I moved the battery because the area was in fact rusted out. I figure if I sell the car the buyer can see the repairs very easily.

While it technically is a class foul on my part, it doesn't add HP, it isn't located in a better strategic place, and if somebody wants to nail me on it.... advertising @$$hole on their forehead would amuse me.

Then again, what does one charge to weld in a tray?
