Dj used it for an air filter... You would have mad plumbing to get one there though...

How about some air horns? That would fit there.

hehe... I thought about putting a set of "BadBoys" there...

I had the brilliant idea that I could wedge a group 51 (Del Sol) battery into the area where the stock air box was, since the B6T pretty much demands the airbox be relocated to the driver's side. I did a bunch of measuring, even made a foam mock-up of the battery, and hacked a hole in the right front inner fender. I then made a nice sheetmetal box that extended into the vacant area between the inner and outer fenders. Just before I welded it in, I remembered to check for interference with the wheel... DOH!!!!! The box sat WAY too close to the tire!!! It would be straight ahead, but turning would have been a problem.

Sounds familiar... while working on Paul's BP car Jack + Pauls dad thought they could fit the battery there. I said I didnt think so, specially with 195/50/15's, but arguing with a retired fab guru and GE engineer proved futile. They cut the fender, welded in a nice metal box (part of an old filing cabinet) stuck a wheel on and ... oops. looks like youngun was right :p

Hey Jim,
I just checked out the color you want to paint Snot. I threw-up in my mouth a little. Looked like the same color!! LOL
