Yeah, the plastic tray is probably a good idea.
Altho with that much of your car gone already.. I'd seriously wonder how long
you'll feel elated about messing with such a ratty car.
Of course who am I to speak.. I can't even give away a wagon with a much
nicer body than that :)
But.. while you're having fun.. have some fun.. you know? If you can spend the
extra couple of bucks.. maybe it would be worth going after a gel battery (Optima
comes to mind) and sticking it in the trunk or someplace else. Just make sure to
tie it down nicely (perhaps with some monsterous zip ties or something).
However, there is something to be said for adapting a non Volvo battery tray to
your car. The earlier 240s were designed to take a group 46 battery.. which is
quite a rare beast and indeed has odd fastening doohickies. The later ones..
dunno.. never seen one but I believe it's still a rather odd size. OTOH if you
grab a generic battery tray (a few bucks at the local chain auto parts store) you
could probably fasten a more common type of battery down with less fuss.
