Very kind words there cobber. Managed to run some welds around the tank.
Next step is to fabricate some mounts and look at a filler.

Tank now mounted. Once painted black it should blend in well.

So back on the centre console today.
Fiitted the mounts and opened up the hole around the hand brake so that I can actually fit the hand brake once the console is installed. Will have a boot made up to cover the hole.
Also cut the holes for the cup / stubbies holders.
Once this was done I made a start on the cover panel for the passanger side.

Bit more done today. Drivers side panel made but need to weld on some sections around the column to fill in the gap.
