kf4eok Posted April 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 (edited) I removed the gas tank. The gas in it was bad so I drained it and pressure washed it then I put in a cup of small ball bearings and shook the tank for a good long while then got all of them out and pressured washed it again. Then I treated it with a rust treatment. I feel that it is in good usable condition now. I then painted and put it all back together using a good fuel pump which will be a primer pump.picture #1picture #2I also cleaned the under body above the gas tank and every else around that area and then undercoated the area. http://thestarquestclub.com/images/mycar/P8142196.JPG http://thestarquestclub.com/images/mycar/P8142197.JPG Edited April 30, 2010 by kf4eok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then click the little image icon 2 to the right from the smiley/emoticon, and copy the url into that box, and hit "insert image" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
