Hi All, been pretty busy these last few months...and now with our 4th hurricane barreling towards us.....

Anyway, barring flying trees and mobile homes, I'll be painting the engine compartment this weekend. The engine is at the machine shop, I'm building a B20E for F Street Prepared autocross use.

      Looks fantastic.

      In my limited experience I've always found the battery box/tray to be spot welded to the left inner fender.. in the pictures it seems as though yours easily bolted in and out. Is this true?

        I drilled out the spot welds, painted under it and now I'm bolting it back in place (the way it should have been in the first place)
