Going to be awesome Greg. Heard nothing but good things. Biggest issue I’ve heard is sorting out in-tank pump, which you’ve done. Nice welding by the way!

Hi Clay,
I can't take the credit for the welding as the tank was made by a fabricator here in Sydney. Top bloke did exactly what i asked and the welds are superb i agree !
Funny, I've lost a bit of zest lately and find it hard to go to the shed, heat wave last week and now cold again !
I dont seem to have the time of late but there is some progress.
Made a new filler neck, its in your face a bit but I'll eventually box it in with an area either for some tools to sit or I may relocate the battery just behind it. Really no issue as the car wont see any big boot loads, not while i have it anyway !

Going to move the exhaust inbound and along the tank as well, spring hits them on big bumps, very annoying.

Raptor coated just to blend it in a little, subtle changes you see !!
I used Wurth stuff under the rattler , looks pretty similar to that

The Raptor is 2 part and you can get it tintable, that’s what I did,
Had some left over paint called clinker grey but it looks black.
It’s pretty simple to use, goes off to touch in an hour.
Tip, it needs two coats so mix only enough before you recoat, otherwise half a tin in the bin then start with a new one !!!!!
