Smart.
Did think that, but then the car is hardly perfectly balanced. Sticking one battery on the other side of the car would be a piss in the ocean lol.
First update for a while. Haven't really used the car much due to a gearbox oil leak.
So woke up today with a raging hangover. Not what you want when you are aiming to crack out a load of work on the car. So sorted myself out with a manwich! of epic proportions!

Then made headway on fitting the battery into the boot:

Went better than expected, and they're in there fooking solid. Can rock the car pretty well by holding them. Just need to run a +12v feed from the engine bay back there now.
Also re-located the washer bottle to the boot. After me and Niall being stumped as to why it was pumping but the water wasn't reaching the jets, we realised it was the one way valve. Muppets
Leaving the back of the car looking like this:

So plans for the rest of the week are to change the oil, filters and plugs. Then to fit the new gearbox oil seals, and twin radiator fans, and wire them into switches to avoid toasty traffic temperatures
