Update;


I cleaned the tank inside of 12 years of jellied stale fuel. fitted new pump and new fuel filter, removed surface rust and painted outside of tank, had tank strap fixed where I had to cut it off (Spot welded new piece in) sorted all rusted captive nuts and made new ones and re hung tank under car.


Currently waiting for new fuel injectors as old ones beyond saving.

I am hearing pump prime but no fuel at fuel rail, I have checked everything and think I may have pushed the pump to high on the pipe in the tank and its inlet is sitting above the current fuel level, will add more fuel later.

Got the engine to run on all 4 briefly by introducing raw fuel into inlet manifold, run for about 20 seconds but encouraging to hear.

Don't plan to drop the tank again till next spring when will start underbody repaint so will have to run around with plenty of fuel.

Had the twin rad fans in workshop, sorted rusted fan carrier and freed up sluggish fans and tested.

Working my way round numerous electrical connection problems.

Radiators got a small leak the system was drained whilst stored so not frost damage.

Brought rust free drivers and passenger doors from Cos Elle on here, Thanks


Will update again shortly with pics.
