Looking tidier for the mot man

With no welding capabilities went back to tidying other things. Both chassis rails wire wheeled and painted

It was at this point my regulator decided to spring a leak. Its one of the gauges and I had nothing on hand to replace or plug the gauge so that ended my weekends welding. Only have the floor pan to take care of in the footwell. So new reg ordered and carry one when it arrives.

Clean it up

Blast it in

Fitting up my patch

Even though a bit rusty the inner skin was solid. So cleaned it up and a bit of zinc spray

Chop out the magic triangle

This area is one that was underneath one of the side step supports so had been rotting away secretly

Just a bit wobly

Things went well on the plate sizing

More lurking below the surface

Rubber hose is nice and easy. Obviously not as neat as Banshees solid pipes but if your pressed for time you can just drag it through and clip it to the existing fuel pipes. If you ever chuck any veg oil in the tank regular saej30r6 pipes are rated for veg oil so wont break down.

First off I know nothing about ecu tuning but I had previously read post by a member timbo_1975 that some of the older ecus cannot be remapped. They have to have the rom changed completley?? Either this will mean something to you or to everybody im talking rubbbish. :lol
