rob_bower Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Forgot I'm doing this at the moment. Just giving the tank a luck of pain as they do like to go a bit busty. Even under the paint that looks good. Done a bare metal strip of the tank. Just need to plug some black on after a couple of costs of primer Tempted to do this to mine as its rusty as hell. How bad are they to get off? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

turbo Grant Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 Tempted to do this to mine as its rusty as hell. How bad are they to get off?Not that bad a job to get out. Just need to get the filler pipes off. Disconnect the lines running to the front. Drop the exhaust down. The tanks are held in by 4 bolts. Now for my big update......That's what I've done so far Quote Link to post Share on other sites

turbo Grant Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 Got my world renowned bosch 044 fuel pump now. It's a tad bigger than stock pump in the middle and the walbro on the end. Will be fitting the pump at the weekend if I have time. Got the Teflon braided fuel line in the rear of the car now Will be using propped bulk head fitting and custom bossesThey will be welded in so nice a secure. Think that's about it for now. Got a couple of other bits I'm working on but ill show them when I've finished making them Quote Link to post Share on other sites

turbo Grant Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 cheers guys. its taken a while but id rather spend the extra time getting it sort of how i want it. Got lots planned for end of the year already. the pum is going to be loud but if it goes well i wont worry about that. and there is also a 106 power steering pum in the back and thats loud as well,butdont need to run that all the time. im going to use a stock pump in the tank to lift up to the swirl pot. or just leave the walbro in depending on fuel heating Quote Link to post Share on other sites
