c20xe tidy up

[novathere]

my nova's been on the road with the 2.0 in for a few months now but when i put the engine in i rushed it and didnt tidy anything now i wish i did. so im gonna strip it and re do everything again. thing is i dont know what to do with the engine bay. i want it looking like its just come out of the shop. do i cut the bulk and relocate the batt? and wheres the best places to weld. it has been seam welded but im wondering if theres anywhere that would help if it was done again. any idea's would be great! not just for engine bay but for interior aswell. (happy with exterior) will get pics up soon. cheers!

The 'cleanest' looking bays I've seen have had the coil, header tank etc.. relocated behind the firewall with a cover over the whole section and a neat job done to the cables with split loom etc...
