Get the biggest one you can fit in the tray - measure up how much roon you got, get the batery from Halfords that will fit in the space and modify the battary tray to fit. Don't know the dimensions though...

So long as it is a 12 volt battery then it will work properly, you will also want to upgrade the alternator though if you go much bigger with the battery. In fact, upgradign the alternator and alternator wiring is the first logical step as you will more than likely to be running the engine while running the ice.

My engine is in the garage at the mo. Going on holiday for 3 months next week When I get back it's being re-built and fitted, once I have bought the new suspension and brakes
Also got to get rid of the rust and stuff on the underside of the car and underseal, paint the engine bay and have some repair work done to the arches... This is getting expensive

Made custom subframes for the seats and welded in some mounting brackets onto the boot floor...

17's look like little baby wheels to me now... They look kinda cute though . 18's are the way forward, until you try drive the car
