This is all looking good, I like the battery relocation, and it's something I want to do with mine, and tips ? as I use my car daily for work, and want the battery in the spare wheel well, or near it.

I take it cars not stripped out at all you would have to run it down the right hand side of the car pretty much the same as if you was to put a amp power lead In just need new battery tray and junction box to connect and if you want a braker and a kill switch in place simple to do but bits work out pretty dear just to move a battery
