Hey guys ive recently had my battery relocated to the boot in my vl and i would like to know if anyone could tell me how to get rid of the sqaure that it used to sit in , in the engine bay it looks to me like its welded on so what would be the best way to get rid of it to neaten it up , if anyone has done this or has any ideas id like to hear inputs thanks

Yes drill out the welds and hammer it off it's not the neatest job

It's held on by a few spot welds. You can either Drill the spot welds, or get a chisel under it. You will probably need to fill/smooth/paint the panel underneath once done to make it look neat once the battery tray is removed. They can sometimes end up with rust aswell from spilt battery acid, so may need a new section welded in depending on how bad it is.

Thanks guys when i get home I shall look for the weld spots and drill them out then just hammer it off my plan is too smooth the engine bay out and spray it anyway because the motor is out and the fire wall is shabby how can I get the lumps smoothed out from where the wheel arch is its harder then I thought ..

Heat the bumps up with either a Heatgun or butane torch get a hammer and a dolly tap it as smooth as you can then body filler the rest
