Starting with removing the tire tub lid...
Onto the tire tub...
Looking over the exhaust. It's a very old replacement exhaust w/several rust holes. I think we'll need to replace it.
We removed the tire tub and moved onto the mufflers (so we could get to the gas tank)
Removing the fuel line
Draining the old fuel from the gas tank
Removing the fuel boot
It's a nice original piece that we'll reuse. After the boot, we removed the fuel neck.
Next, we removed the fuel tank cross member
Lastly, we removed the fuel sending unit from the bottom of the fuel tank
The sending unit is extremely corroded
And then the fuel tank was lowered from the car!
A view from under the car, looking up to where the fuel tank normally sits
A good day!
