Which one are you trying to relocate? The main fuse box, the one attached to the battery, or the relay box on the slam panel? For nay of them you are going to need a lot of wiring if you want to relocate it to inside the car. It\'s not a small project by any means. Easy enough, but takes it\'s time.

the one on the slam panel ahh wiring not so good at that lol

That\'s actually relays
If you aren\'t good at wiring, I really wouldn\'t advise tackling it - or at least do a lot of soldering practise first!
I basically ripped mine to bits and kept 2 of the relays
The contents are now hidden away under wings and arch liners.

I havent really got any good piccies of what I\'ve done - will try to take some later.
You can sort of see here:


I\'ve basically unwrapped the whole loom, removed the unneeded relays, used any slack in the wires to move the ones I still need, and extended the cables of the ones I do. I\'ve also moved the battery mounted fuse box and the one by the side of it with the EGI etc in it into the boot.
Not as cheap or easy as it seems though - I\'ve easily spent over £100 on cable, loom tape, etc, and lots of hours - unwrapping the loom is an utter sh!t.

that does look like a neat and tidy engine though,iam going to take another look at this when i have to engine rebuild and thats not for another 50K ,
 
how did you remove your Air con unit safely?
