Can you put a fuel push joiner into the tank?
And straight onto fuel pump pipe.

Nah, both the pipes have snapped off right where they come out the pump body so there’s nothing to push a pipe onto.

Nah, not the boot floor finisher, it's the bit in front of the internal rear arches I was on about ...

Oh, I’ll see what that’s like when I get there haha! Made some panels to reattach the wheel arches to the inner wings and tacked them on today. Structural integrity is slowly returning!



I’ve been using gasless MIG wire for this. I’ve not used this before; as I’m working on the front garden in the wind this seemed to be a better option than god knows how much welding gas. The welds look ok when cleaned up, nice and strong. Going to attempt the boot floor edge panels next.

Finished off the bits attaching the wheel arches to the inner wings, these now feel much more solid. Then made up a new patch for the hole where the seatbelt mount had rotted out. I reattached the original reinforcement panel to the back of it and welded that in place.

Looks nicer now I’ve ground down the welds- this will be painted with Bilt-Hamber and seam-sealed.

I’m a bit confused by the boot floor side panels- they seem too long for the wheelarches. When they fit at the front end there’s a gap at the back- is it just bend the arches to make them fit properly?


Obviously new bits will be needed at the bottom of the inner wings to attach to these.
