haha central day??? NO CHANCE lol was going to get all the welding done this weekend, but am about to but a TIG welder plus my panels haven't turned up

Yes the photo of me was taken before i used white spirit, after that i was just black. Sorry mate i didn't read your post properly i thought you were removing waxoil from the underside not the petrol tank, i probably wouldn't put anything sparky near that tbh. Soffen it with white spirit then use thinners for the last bits, i found the thinners evaporated too quickly to sofen large areas, but it did little nasty sports really well.

Best of luck mate, PS i will probably be at central day without car so if i see you i'll say hello.

Rob,
