[Vwdiesel] Relocating Battery.

[Evans Antoniou]

thanks William,

i have been getting a lot of information for the
tdiclub.com as well and most people are in agreement
with what u said.

i will run #2 copper ground wire to the connector that
is already there, or a i might solder a union.

i have a #0 guage that will go from battery to chassis
and a second ground wire in the engine bay from the
chassis to the motor.

i was  going to insulate as well and rund the wire
inside the car.

i hope to complete this transformation by this
weekend.
