What do you mean?

Didn't you just state what you were going to do? What do you need advice about?

you can put covering on the wires or wire tuckthere are a few different things you can do

and it would benefit you more to put the relocate the battery to your trunk then to put route the battery all the way to a truck

happens all the time... well not literally, but it does happen. Battery acid is a b****..

in most cases, cut and reweld is the only option...

but in your case, relocated it like everyone says. Hell, you can clean up that battery tray area, leave the hole there, then if you eventually go turbo, you can run your intercooler piping there.

here's a Do It Yourself articlehttp://www.nicoclub.com/articles.php?id=196280

yeah theres a few good writeups about the battery relocate. Just be sure to use a sealed or gel battery.
