Its been a while since i've done a welding project on the accord and to be honest i kinda missed doin custom stuff :D. The latest thing i fabbed up is a cage for the battery to sit right behind the right side of the bumper. Take a look and let me know what you think.

Tack welded the cage together:

^That was my first thought, but is the reservoir somewhere else on the 4cyl?

Nice work man, awesome that you did this yourself. I'd love to move mine to make more room in the bay.

Awesome man! Wish I could do the same, but my piping goes where your box is located. You were able to do this, because your piping was routed differently, not in that area.
