all you need to do is get a battery box and run a cable for the starter motor to the + on the battery and somewhere on the chassis boot floor for a ground.

I bought some thick battery cable and ran it from the boot to the engine bay where it connects to a junction box. From there, all the other bits, ie starter motor etc.. are connected.

 

I bought a black plastic battery box off Ebay and made a metal frame that sits inside it so you can bolt it down to the vehicle and strap the battery to it. For the earth cable I used an old starter cable and attached to the car body in two places (removing the paint first)

Just be sure to fasten the battery to boot floor properly and use cable thick enough. I would use 35mm^2 minimun.
