If you could see me today you would see one very happy bunny....why?
Having struggled/cursed etc to get the fuel tank off "buttercup" and beginning to doubt my sanity at bothering, I have today had the chance to have a good look underneath (after sweeping up a huge pile of rust/dust/crud etc) and what do i find?
No rust :grin: :grin: apart from the odd spot of surface rust everything is solid, i have poked and prodded and thumped and nothing gives, no holes no nothing, even the rear tank mountings, despite loosing their captive nuts and causing me so much hassle, are solid. Behind the sills is solid, whole floor is good :grin:
One loose heat shield has now been removed, couple of fuel lines look a bit suspect but easily replaced, all brake pipes seem good, handbrake outer cover is rusty but think a good wire brushing will sort that.
So, job now is to remove any loose underseal, repaint the whole underside before re-fitting tank and then plan is to remove interior and paint the floor.
And now the sun is shining, oh and for those of you that know the story of my wife and the garage forecourt, garage has accepted liability :grin:
