Well the tank is in. The pickup and return metal bits are rotten and leaking, so I should get some new ones tomorrow in the post. The rear suspension is now finished, the chassis brackets had to be changed due to work threads, and they were a real arse to grind out. Now it's the turn...

Hi All, Well 2 jobs have really taken me an age to progress. Changing the rear suspension mounts and the dreaded fuel tank removal. I must say the tank removal was a real bastid of a job, and I gave up multiple times. And I think the threads on the old mounts had gone some time ago and...

No leaks...no fun :-)

I still think it's madness. I got 17% off a bmw 135i which was unheard of. I still lost a fortune. Either way new cars of any kind lose a fortune in first 3 years. A landy depreciates less overtime, but drops like a lead balloon when driven out of a showroom

Thanks for your help everyone. Sorry about the typing, as am posting this from the hospital bed...managed to film a bit of the incident as requested... VID

The tank has been drained but has been leaking over bodywork for some time

On the basis diesel is less flammable than petrol. And as landy fuel tanks are a bitch to remove. Im wondering if grinding the rusty bolts is an option?

Bump

Ive been using por15 recently. Sprayed,brushed and sponged it on. Check out my blog below

As i'm in the middle of replacing the rear suspension and fuel tank, I thought it was excellent timing to start a new job. :D I have had this rear door in my garage for a good 6 months, so as the weather is nice and warm, I've decided to get cracking... I'm using the Tekaloid...
