hense why its best to remove the tank. i thought i would get away with it but alas i didnt. ended up with a small hole in the top of the tank  :oops: .easily fixed though.  :wink:

always safer to remove it and it only takes 10 mins

Sat here now .Miserable look on my face. :cry: The weather has let me down .I dont fancy getting an electric shock trying to weld in the rain.Hopefully it will dry off later and I can start again.

johnpirate:
Nearly finished. I replaced the rear body crossmember.and 2in of the floor as well because there was nothing left to weld it to.Nearside outer sill was rotten so that was next on the list.The inner sill looked solid.I found a small hole in the floor.Got the grinder out two min later 15 in hole in the floor.Out with the welder again.Then I found another hole in a wheel arch.If I had known how rotten it was I think it would be on e,bay spares or repairs.But at least now I should get another couple of years out of it.I,ve got a propshaft uj left to change ,but my vice isn't big enough.So I will see if I can use one at the coach company I used to work at.I think it will finally be ready for its MOT test.
