Re: FInally Building an AWD
I went ahead and relocated the battery to the trunk as well. Had to spend a little extra to make sure it was NHRA legal. But well worth it. Heres some pics This is the temporary battery i will be using till i purchase a new one. As you could tell the car also desperately needs a paint job. I decided i'd give it a try. I had painted a bumper before but never a whole. I guess theres a first time for everything. Heres some progress of how thats coming along. Thats how it currently sits. Due to the limited space I have im painting it in pieces. I know its not the best way but its better than the paint job it had. Lol. Ill be updating as i make progress on it Thanks for reading. Feel free to leave comments or suggestions.

Re: FInally Building an AWD
Looking good man! Haha, I'm using the same circuit breaker for my battery relocation.
What kind of paint are you using and where did you get it from? What kind of compressor are you using to spray it?
