nice work shane, spot on, and so detailed, love all those pics you have included! lol, think this one is a job for justin, sure he has a million pics of it haha. Very good thing to do, tidies up the engine bay so much

you will need a battery box for legal purposes and i think u need to vent it to outside the car, but i wouldnt do that till i got told to by the police lol, but battery box is a good idea! also makes putting sound system in a whole lot easier!

you can use a dry cel like odyssey batteries and then you dont have to vent it.

but yes, run the cable from the battery (in the boot) to the started motor, and then ground the battery in the boot in a well grounded place, and make sure you reground the engine if you moved the cable, then fuse it at the battery.
its that easy.

good luck
