I dont like relocating batteries to the trunk imo I think it creates too big of an empty space in the engine bay.
here is a link to my updated pics, I relocated the battery to the passenger side as well as the fuse/relay box

Your SC looks good, I just as similar to my project I am currently building. I have been at it for about a year. Money, work, and family keeps me busy.

That's usually how it works.

Can anyone comment on this car? Is this price worthwhile?

I currently have an SC4 and really want to do an SC3 project with either a 1JZ-GTE or 2JZ-GTE swap, but feel like I don't know enough about everything to make it happen. I'm now entertaining the idea of buying someone else's project car... but regardless I will probably still need to learn a ****-ton more just for maintenance issues that might come up down the road.
