have now relocated the battery to the spare wheel well as i knew theres was some rust under it

so the tray was removed what a pain in the arse that was :x

theres is some rust which will get repaired and painted

some of the holes were my fault as i was trying to remove the tray

have put a cover overthe holes for now untill it gets welded


removed the gold stripes down the sides aswell and looks much better

Yeah, that's the beauty of them. They're ideal for FWD applications because of their size!

Supercharged CVH on bike carbs would be a little bit off-the-wall! :devil: :lol:
