Looking good mate!!

Although I don't think having the fuel tank so close to the back of the car is a good idea...

I know Mitch the best place would be its orginal position or in the middle but I wanted something which looked cool and custom.

I know what you mean corner weighting and weight distribution buddy but very few even have their cars set up properly to even experience the difference

Not just the fact its not in an ideal position for weight distribution, its not in an ideal position in case you experiance a rear impact mate, dangerously close to the rear panel.

Does look cool though yes.

Dangerously close lol not really the best choice of words.

The group a or race prepared escort cosworths have mounted there fuel tanks at the rear of their boots. Do you remember the carbon fibre enclosed ones also were rear boot mounted. Its exactly the same as those if anything with more enclosure.
