Something that i am torn about. Battery to boot or keep it original? I really really like nice and clean engine bays, so the more wires i can hide the better. But i also like to keep the car in a way that can be changed back to factory if it ever needs to come to. Removing the battery tray would be tricky to bring back. I know that Aaron would probably kill me if i relocate the battery. :-P Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Keep battery in the engine bay. Cheers Marty

Just do what I done and make a battery cover

I have seen some really nice alloy battery covers,They have a nice rubber protector under it so the battery does not short out. Cheers Marty

Cheers Marty I agree, you can get some really nice battery covers, guys in oz do it all the time and looks sweet. I relocated mine to boot in vlt cause I wanted the smooth and symmetrical look, but if your torn just cover it, like you said it's hard to go back after if you have removed tray Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yeah that bonnet hood doesn't do it for me either but in saying that I'm an arrogant c@#t

after seeing those photoshops id have to agree it looks ridiculous

Got my VY SS foot pedals in look great simple to do Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Pedals look sweet, bonnet vent looks shithouse

Just a thought,Alex is your old car still around?if so what condition is she in??Would be a shame if she is going to pot!Has anyone seen it? Cheers Marty

never been to the kumeu show before, if we all rock up in the VLs and park up together im assuming thats not classed as entering into the show?

Whos keen to meet up and roll to the Kumeu show this weekend? We can all meet somewhere central and cruise from there?? IM KEEN!!!! Let me know boys . . . And Matt^^^, I was wondering the same thing!

if you drive in the gates your 'entered' in the show. if you park in the car park your....in the car park. there is hundreds and hundreds of cars guys, place fills up through out the day, last year they struggled to get all the cars in. Its a huge place too. bring them in and park up together.

might go on saturday and take the fc along

I was looking into getting some from rarespares. They have them for $97.58 each. At least you can see them before you buy them.
