If your putting the fuse box behind the fender you must extend eps power steering wires.

I was thinking of relocating to inside the cabin in the passenger footwell, though by the looks of it, il need to extend wires there also. Any other location where wire extension isnt needed?

I think your only option is to turn it sideways and you won't need to extend any wires but you can still melt it. What manifold do you have? Why don't you want to extend wires?

I have done this on my car and a friends we both have no problems. Just make sure you use good wire, solder and heat shrink all connectons. I recommend doing it behind the fender but face the fuses to the wheel so if you need to get to it, you can just remove the wheel and half the fender liner and replace fuse.

is drilling required? I do not like the idea of drilling into the car. what needs soldering? I thought it was just extending wires

Yes drilling is required, you should solder and heat shrink the wire's that your extending for the best connection/protection.

So when going to the fender drilling is a must, there's no other way around that? instead of soldering, butt connectors done right wont do the job? Ive never soldered before, but have delt with butt connectors for stereo systems and such.

Your going to have to drill mounting holes to hold the fuse box, butt connectors will work but i have seen them come loose.
