What have you done to your P5 today?

[fishdonotbounce]

that looks great. im impressed. did you have to cut into the mounting point of the spare at all? i dont like the idea of cutting into the car lol. if it can fit back there without that i can fabricate something like what you have but using mdf or something along those lines. where did you get that box?

You could just mount that box itself in your trunk... Probably how I'd do it, vs. cutting out the spare tire area.

car looks great jeff!! when i see your car i feel "attached" somehow/way???(dunno)

That would be great. I'm still about 4 weeks from doing this since I'll be home then so I'd like to keep my options open as far as mounting locations for the battery go. You could just PM those pics to me.

did you get the pics i sent you?

I wanted not to block any of my trunck area back there. Hidden is the key, nice and clean install.

I used steel, MDF would soak moisture.

I could have but it rusted out so I had to repair it anyways. I wanted a flush mount covered with carpet, no wasted space or box just bolted to the car.

Ya, I knew why you did it. Was just saying, that Ivan could just mount the box within the trunk if he didn't want to remove his spare tire and/or do all the fab work you did...

Yea I sure did thanks man.

If I had the know how and the balls to cut into all of that stuff and do it the way you did, I would. I think I'll be keeping the spare and mounting the battery another way. I've got a couple ideas. It should look very clean by the time I'm done with it. Thanks for the pics. One day mine will look like that.
