May updates

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.
Snow shoes or front brake disc cooling ducts cleaned and painted aluminium ready for installation.
