With advice from Steven (cookie4343) I've bought a new underseal gun on ebay, hopefully it's better quality and arrives in one piece! Thanks!

On another train of thought, anyone know the thread of the captive nuts on the rear subframe for the brackets?

Thanks freddy, apparently it's 5/16 unf, I've got a tap for that somewhere.

Been to hythe performance and they said they'd do some adjustable camber/toe brackets for £30 something, in stock for wednesday hopefully. Also bought a master cylinder refurb kit.
Forgot to ask about a flaring tool though.

Put some more paint on its bum too, starting to look pretty good.

Thinking about moving the filler neck to inside the boot and blanking/smoothing it. Just to stop water getting in through there.

All right all right <_< Well I might drain my fuel tank tomorrow (took it out when it was full) but the fuel is about 6 months old, not sure if I should put it in a car, would it be fine? Don't know where else to put it! Then I can do some welding on the tank :thumbsup: If the weather is bad though I guess I'll paint the subframe or something, how dull :wub: Maybe do the master cylinder.

I will if you will steven haha

It took ages to drain the fuel tank and clean it out, and it's annoyingly slow progress getting the paint off it, run out of time for today.

Here's a pic of how you're fuel tank is going to look if you leave it in a bin bag in the hedge for 6 months :thumbsup:

Just gotta blank the body now, and put the bracket in for the tank. Then it's fuel tank done! Although it won't go in until later =)
