In the middle of the loom rebuild I found a replacement fuel tank that needed some work - it even came with a refurbish kit!

I'll gloss paint it properly when it's going back in for the last time!

I've just come back in from fabricating the new fuel pump bracket - it's welded underneath as I didn't want any bolts going through the boot floor

It's 3 pieces the centre is removable because I'd like to go fuel injection in the future so I don't want a panel that's going to be drilled and redrilled so now I can just make a new centre which is a flat piece of steel

I'd forgotten to add that I've also made some brackets for an electric cooling fan which now bolts in front of the radiator because there isn't enough space between the radiator and the water pump

With all that done I'm currently working on a stainless steel exhaust which I've nearly finished but I've run out of bends so the main fabrication is done!

My aim is to have the car running with fuel from the tank, a proper exhaust and charging from an alternator (more to come) then it's teardown for paint prep!
