Relocating all the Fuses and Relays from the engine bay to the rear hatch?

I was wondering the pros and cons of doing this mod. I know time is a major issue as well as room for error but i was just wondering if anyone had done this before. Maybe even found a way to get rid of many of the relays before hand. I want to do it purly clean up the engine bay. Any ideas?

Thanks
~Luke

Do you like pain? Sure it can be done.. but so little gain for the amount of time it takes.

My question is "Why?" The majority of the wiring is all on the engine or under the dash. Why relocate everything furthest away?

yeah this is a messy job. i thought about this too, i wanted to move the main fuse block into the driver side wheel well. even asked KDR to do it for me, instead they convinced me its not a good idea. Likely at least one wire will end up with a bad connection somewhere and you can imagine what a pain that could be.

My reason was to make space to mount a fan in the driver side wheel liner to vent hot air. i moved those fuses a bit and the other fuses in the front by the IC, here's a thread with pics of what i did as far as moving things around:
