Thanks but I'm not sure I want four seeping wounds of muck on each corner - especially after all that cleaning and scraping.
I'm not sure if it is true but it certainly feels that 90% of doing up old cars is cleaning
The fuel tank looked pretty amazing under all the caked on crud =>
No external rust (worth mentioning) - looked d - i - s - c - o new once it had been wire brushed to death with the angle grinder and loads of thinner and epoxy prep cleaner.
It is now in a coat of epoxy primer (that'll need a good bit of sanding to remove the drips!)
The black pantsercoating looks like it will be all that will be necessary for the final finish.
