i tell you its a good job i work in a garage.

The pump didnt come with a new rubber hose so i didnt feel compfortable using the old pipe so searched out a new pipe. Also the earth wire had been rubbing on the fuel lines so i attached an old bit of vac pipe around the new wire to stop it happening again.

Whilst the tank was out i took the oppertunity to treat the car. I treat the area where the tank is. I also re painted the tank. and all the brake pipes and fuel lines.

I also fixed my water leak by replacing the pipes from hell.



Now we have the bad news I spent AGGGGGGES trying to blled the car but cant. I gave up after a while as its just steaming up, problem being i drained the whole system dry

WHAT A FUDGING BALL ACHE DAY!!!

So today ive been doing a torque convertor on a saab which has been utter ball ache, and my boss wants to buy an mr2 turbo so has been pestering to drive mine so i said yes.......... Came back smelling of fuel and saying its floaty at the front end.
So i figured im staying to do my front brakes so ill have a look. So the fuel smell waa a fuel pipe from the tank to the bottom of the fuel filter (ME thinks) the padded area behind is all damp and seemed to get better when turned off. The pipe has all rusted out so i got one tonight from henry.
So im doing my brakes and i thought hmm thats not right, AND my o.s.f spring is broken falling out. GRRRRR i cant drive it now as its about to fall out and because there lowered i need a whole set.

O YEAH!!!
and i brought some superfles antiroll bar bushes which i think are wrong :thumleft:
