Battery box

 Rusted metal cut out, and new metal formed and welded in. These battery boxes are a bit small for a modern 12V battery. The car was originally fitted with two smaller 6V batteries connected in series to get 12V. 

6V batteries are an obsolete technology now, but I repaired the battery box to original dimensions for sake of originality. I'll figure out some way to fit a 12V battery later. Maybe a compact lithium battery will fit.
