When you got rid of the battery tray did you drill the old one off and keep the origional panel just withou the tray or did you get hold of a repair panel with no tray?
Reason I ask is I'm smoothing my bay like yours and relocating the fuse box and battery to the boot but my battery panel is solid underneith bar a small scab so dont want to cut the whole panel off.

taking it out at first due to the shell been so clean
,was quite a few years back now like,but im sure we hacked it out and kept everything underneath,then began to smooth the original panel,so yes i reckon you could drill it out,and you should not have to weld another repair panel in
hope this helps bruv

well tommorow the shell was prov sold,but having found out that i could not remove my coilovers,due to someone throwing my standard suspension components away
so had nothing to drop the car on to roll around for the buyer,i am genuinely sorry,he probably thought i had cold feet in selling because of the amount of money and time been spent to make it how it is, yes i would of been gutted if i had of sold,but honestly havent the time or space,i would of probably bought lee ivatts rs1600i but looks like that has fallen throughdue to the mentioned,maybe its a sign i should make time and finish it off as im nearly there
so hopefully who ever is reading and goes to the shows will see this at rs central day next year

Tell me about it. £10 a week doesn't seem too bad when you look at the weather! If you can get it here and wanna leave it 6 months or whatever theres a space waiting.
I'm hoping to have the engine bay smoothing finished tomorrow. As soon as the bays in paint the ball really gets rolling.
