Finally got round to taking a couple of pics. After finding the time the other week, battery was moved to the boot making room for the new WAI and cold air box set-up which is currently in the planning stage.
 Next step is to cut off the OE battery tray and remove the rad overflow bottle which will be replaced with a custom made one. This will allow a custom cold air box to be mounted in that space with a short run to the turbo. Air feed to the box/filter will be from underneath.  A steel battery tray was fabricated which was securely bolted to the crossmember just behind the rear seats. Once all connected, a simple ally box was powdercoated and then fixed in place with 2 small bolts. Job done. Definitely not much room in the boot on the WRC spec 4 due to the full size spare wheel. A sub box doesn't exactly help either  Gary --------------------  1994 ST205 Celica GT-FOUR Group A WRC - running in new engine 1993 Rover 220 GTi tarmac rally car (under construction) 3SGE power here we come....

I'm gonna do the same thing. Placing the Battery in the boot. Gonna remove al the back materials thats there and weld a frame onto the chassis. Where did you put your ground wire? Welded a bolt to the chassis?

Stripped the paint back to bare metal and used a nut & bolt. Job done.
