rusty old nail to sow's ear

Had an hour seam sealing and painting tonight, only to find a fucking cat sitting on the still uncured sealer on the tank platform.

:evil:

Good job I only painted the underside.

 

[creationblue]

Should have used contact adhesive :msn4:

Pics of the underside of the tank platform.

After removal of cat residue, bloody things roughed all the seam sealer up, and a coat of paint.

All done (at last), ready for the new tank tomorrow afternoon.

Put the f*cking thing back together and drive it.
If I can find all the bits I took off.

Fuel filler opening primed and painted.
Now it's all ready for refitting the tank.

:lol:

I'm the opposite - I have a garage full of bits to stick on!, Firetec, steering box, air suspension, leather seats, trim, electrics.....

So even though mine is in one piece, it still never ends does it? :roll:

Great progress thus far dude!

Cheers,

Unfortunately not, it's a significant family birthday gathering tomorrow. :|
As for getting a lot done in 6 weeks, the original plan was to finish it for the 1st December, but that obviously didn't happen as I left it untouched for 2 weeks.
