Hey lads,
Is if possible to remove the battery tray in an AU? I have had a look and it looks to be attached in an odd way that seems to be part of the body. Just wondering it i can get it out of there to fit intercooler piping? Chhers, Matt.

Can't you just grind it off? If you take your time and neaten it up You could make it barely noticable. I'm guessing your moving the battery to the boot.

Yeah the battery is in the boot and the intercooler piping is going where the battery was. Just wanted to get as much space as i can for the pod and stuff.

The best way is to drill though the spot welds if you can see them.
