Is it just a matter of extending them cables that go to the battery? where can you buy those cables from? Also, where do you root the cables thru the car? thanks.

easy.
move battery, earth on saat mount (grind the paint off), run lead down passenger side, through bulkhead and connect it to the original lead using a connector block thingy, like autoleads sell.
like Steve says, any audio place should be able to do it for a few quid.

10-15mins, 
Take your time. Doesn't matter if it takes all day.
If you haven't got all the stuff you need then 1week.
Like Robin says, grind the paint off. When its all earthed, put some grease all over the earth! Fatter the better.
Think of it like one big hose pipe. Same size all the way through.

To get a better earth. You wont get a good earth if the surface isnt a bare metal conductor.

Basically, whatever you earth it to, you need to get a good contact. bare metal is the only way.

use the battery tray to mount it, but make sure you put some big washers underneath the car, so it doesn't pull the bolts out when you crash.
