for what?

 

read gas tank post...

BTW did you get your buttons?

MIke

 

yea man, thanks. Left an itrader post yesterday or so. So you forking out the 700 for a new gas tank or did you find one used?

 

The 700 was for LABOR to pull the tank....

Gonna have it welded.....
It's actually not a big deal ... gotta do a CO2 fogging of the tank pre welding...
No oxygen, no BOOM...

It's like a #10 hole ( 4-5 mm )

Mike

 

damn... looks like you got it under control. If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for this thing? Did you get it at a steal? you can PM me, but its not that serious, more a curiousity. Just alot of work but that's probably because I'm getting old lol

 

Remember
Exhaust comes out, D/S out, E brake cables , rear X member cross brace, tank heat shield, rear seat, wiring & vapor, fuel lines.....
etc etc....about 8 hrs @ 85hr.. for in & out

 

Hope no more problems show up! Best of luck man.

 

Thanks!
( It's a car, there's ALWAYS issues )

Plus oil change & 4 qt tranny flush again ( it was DIRTY ) but what can you expect after 89K without service?

and they touched up the alignment....

All good~

Ok Murphy strikes again!
Coming home the other day.... I stopped at a light and a few whisps of smoke came out from under the car....got on the driveway... and sure enough I'm leaking....and it's getting on the pipes. There is also an oily film on the rear bumper...

So off to the stealership.... tranny rear seal & oil cooler...
I just said fix it....

I WANT MY CAR BACK!
