looking good mate 
vtec power ftw. no looking back now!
one thing, be careful who MOTS that when its done, apparently cutting the bulkhead about is a big nono, so you could get hooked by the ear by VOSA for a silly test thing which could go right up shitally.
but crack on mate

thanks dude :) ive always wanted to do it but never wanted the kind of petrol tank that replaces the spare wheel so this was the option i thought of :)
i only say that as ive never actually seen it done before (just the filler neck moved) :)
very happy with it to say the least, can wait to see it in the car! :)

I thought of doing the boot floor fuel cell too but wanted the boot space more. I did it on mine and made a floating tank to mix it up a bit more too!
I did smooth off the tank strap indent too to complete the look :)

looks really good mate, what did you do to attach it? i was thinking about a welded bracket on the bottom of the petrol tank to the side of the spare wheel wall?

5 Gallon tank strap is located on the other side of the centre rib. See the long bolt in the gap? I put some foam on the underside of it for extra grip and to space it out a bit then fully tightened the bolt. It's going nowhere!!!

so my idea for the dashboard is too keep the dashboard i have as i really do like it :)
this is how I want it too fit.
i think it would look pretty good, as its all black :)
so today ive removed the original clocks i had in there
and it looks to be nearly the right size for the gauges to fit in :) so im going to start fitting it at the weekend :)
in other words, its my birthday today! wooo lol
my lovely girlfriend bought a welder for me, which is just awesome and great timing lets be honest!
and this! This years IMM! so now i have a target, which i think is in reach no problem and i also want to go to L2B :) so i better get going! lol

Like the original smaller tanks. They use an over the top strap rather thatn round the side. Comes in two parts that tighten together to strap it in. I bolted the short bit directly to the floor. Works a treat :)
