My apologies for not blogging too much this year as I have been so busy with the restoration work.
Here are some images of recent work.
|
New boot floor welded in place, weld thru primer on all seams first, etch primed then zinc rich primer and seam sealed then black gloss. |
|
Same treatment underneath with additional rubberised stone chip, black schutz and waxoyl. |
|
Fuel tank cover / rear seat cushion support cleaned and prepped for paint. |
|
Fuel tank degreased and emptied of stale fuel. |
|
Fuel tank ready for pressure testing - only a couple of psi in this. |
|
Washing up liquid and water solution shows up any leaks. |
|
Internal fuel filter removed from tank for cleaning. |
|
Clean fuel filter built up ready to go back in |
|
Fuel tank painted with new sender unit in. |
|
Tank back in the car, plenty of cavity wax on the floor first as this is technically outside the vehicle, tanks strap material glued in place and straps painted. |
