Looking good. :righton:

I don't know if I can fit my spare and my battery up front like you did, I have a standard beetle. I might have to leave the spare at home but most likely I will leave the battery where it is.

Brendan, what you could do in a standard beetle, is mount the battery down in the spare tire hole and mount a space saver spare up on top of your gas tank.
