Ja1lb8 Posted November 11, 2019 Author Share Posted November 11, 2019 Sandblasted the fuel tank and was rusted from the outside in. Ended up brazing up the holes and putting gas tank sealer stuff in it.Was nice and clean inside bit wanted to seal up where id been welding. Seems to have worked a treat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ja1lb8 Posted November 11, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2019 Blasted and painted anything I could. Pretty tedious work bit real happy with the result. Think from memory I replaced the bottoms of those inner guard things because they were all rust fucked too 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ja1lb8 Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share Posted March 11, 2020 Finally got the car back from the upolsterers. Looks decent, got the boot done as well. Had a crack at covering the dash in vinyl which came out ok. Want to get a proper moulded remanufactured dashpad but the dashboard place needs the steel frame to make a mould off which is a bit hard because its welded in so have to cut the bulkhead out of a car and take it to them for that to happen. Otherwise continue on with putting it back together 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ja1lb8 Posted March 11, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2020 Couldnt get rubber for a coupe so brought multiple sets for a sedan and cut and joined to suite. Had to laugh when i saw the bag the rubber came in( toyota general parts) Spent hours polishing the rear screen with autosol as the copper strips in the demister wire thing had all corroded and gone green and come out of the glass , Come up good but can still make out faint lines where they where. I talked to the old guru at the local glass place I use and he said they used to lay them on as the glass was still curing and thats why it looks like its in the glass and not just stuck on top. Fitted stainless looks lovely 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
