Yea I wanted to put an enclosure down there but once I saw what had to be done to get that out.. I said forget it and came up with another Idea which I will be even happier with.

drill out all the spot welds, thats all that holds it in there, you can see where they're all at too. just use a big enough bit to make sure u get the whole weld. when finished, put some tape underneath the holes, fill the holes with jbweld, then cover that with tape or grind it down once its dry. of course cover any bare metal with paint or something to avoid rust.
