Default Wiring from passenger compartment to storage compartments

I need to run some wiring from the passenger compartment into the storage compartments. Can anyone confirm that there is only a single layer of sheet-metal between the passenger compartment and the storage compartments at the locations shown in red below?:

Would you not be able to come through where the ABS wiring does?

I'll take a look to see where the ABS wiring enters the storage compartment.

I'm mostly interested in running wires into the passenger side compartment. The drivers side compartment would be my second choice since it already contains the ABS hardware.

The wires I need to run come from the dash, run down the side of the transmission tunnel and then need to go into the passenger side storage compartment.

I relocated my battery back near the rear bumper. I ran the battery cables through that bulkhead. It is a thin layer.

Default Done!

I cut the access hole I needed and ran the wiring into the passenger side storage compartment. I punched two 7/8" holes and then cut out the metal between them to create an oval opening. Then I split some rubber hose to make a grommet. It turned out pretty nice.

Looks good. Assume you will seal that up with something.

No need. The wires pass from the passenger compartment into the storage compartment, both of which are part of the car's interior. There's no opening to the outside. So no need for a seal.
