    the only problem is my optrel helmet that i had which was worth over 200euro is broke, so i had to buy a new one, i went for one of these on amazon

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000ZI2528/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

    it was down from £242 which is nearly €300 so i think i got myself a bargain, i dont really like to use cheap auto setting helmets because its your eyes you have to think of so im glad with this one! should do the trick.

    So, i removed the tank today, thank god, it will mean i can do all my welding on the front of the car so this is what i did when removing the tank
    i started by removing the back seat
    [​IMG]
    Then i removed the cover over the fuel senfer
    [​IMG]
    and from there i removed the fuel sender. It was just 5 scews into the tank, easy to remove
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    I then removed the straps holding on the tank in place and disconnected the petrol pipes going to the pump in the tank and the tank could then be removed.
    [​IMG]
    and when i checked under the car were the tank was there was no rust ( SCORE!!! )
    [​IMG]
    I then said id just removed the two front shocks, i started by taking off the abs sensor wires which i an removing anyway so it didnt matter
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    To remove the shocks i toke off the clips which were holding in the brake lines onto the shocks
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    and removed the three top bolts holding in my shocks and the shocks can then be removed
    [​IMG]
    Thats all i did for today, ill try and do more tomorrow

    what i'm amazed at is the amount of rust on the brake line holder on the strut. damn!

    i hope no aches or pains developed from the gas tank removal...cuz the first time i did it, it was a painful 3 hours lol

    And now its gone into its resting place, its quieter that i thought it would be.. its a 3HP, 200ltr, 14cfm displacement so i shouldnt have any trouble running air tools and doing a bit of spray painting. LET THE WORK COMMENCE!

    Fark - did you win lotto?
    Nice tools, nice job - glad I don't live in UK. My old man's Vauxhall had the brake calipers rusted solid, the rear subframe rusted away and the dash heater rusted away
