Have managed to sneak a little bit of time in on this over the last week.
About to start doing a little work on crustywhips wagon so thought I would chuck a couple of pics up. Hoping the next pictures of this will be of the flares mounted. Fibreglass guy has taken nearly 4 months!! Will rark him up again this week
Got fuel cell sitting in there, need to make the mount straps yet though. Also sealed off the rear parcel tray

Made a new shifter box as the altezza 6 speed has a remote shifter that sits up higher
Image
Also managed to whip up a battery box, came out allright

Thats a very serious no bullshit battery box you have there.

I doubt that will be coming loose in a hurry

haha, no.
Schedule A actually says if you move your battery from its factory position it has to be mounted with 4 x M10 bolts!
Still that battery despite being small must weigh about 5KG, if I bin it I definitely dont want that sucker flying round the cabin
Was nearly going to put it in the boot, but decided it would be easiest to wire this way especially with kill switches etc
