First of all...I didn't do this.
:)
The car was like this when we bought it, and sorting it out properly was pretty low on our list of priorities. After recently replacing the battery I decided it was time to get this back to some semblance of factory spec. I've done a bit of research and have not had much luck figuring out what I need. Most of the information out there is for trunk-mounted batteries...or for CONVERTING to a trunk mount. I don't really have any interest in doing this, and would prefer to get it back to the way it looked when it came off the assembly line.
The previous owner did unspeakable things to this car...most of which I have corrected over the years. The cable running from the fuse box to the + terminal is VERY short, so that needs to get sorted. and the tray where the cables run along the firewall...that's missing as you can see.
So...what do I need in terms of parts to get this looking better and more reliable? We've run into a few problems over the years where after going over a large bump the cable running to the fuse box gets pulled out. I'd also like to find a way to secure the battery to the shelf its sitting on. I've already fabricated a new negative cable using some #4 welding cable.
I really appreciate any feedback or assistance with this!
