Excellet work! You're setting standards here, Malcolm!

POR-15 painted areas that were showing signs of surface rust. I would have liked to have done more (like the axle!) but I know from experience how "job creep" extends the time off the road! This started as a simple, tank out, replace fuel sender, put tank back in. It has already extended well beyond that!

Fuel pump fitted back, just the linking pipework to re-connect.

I changed the diff oil while convenient, with the car up and tank out of the way. The old oil came out very clean; a distinct, red, transparent colour. Odd though, nearly 2 litres drained out, but the manual states capacity is 1.2 litres? I put in about 1.2-1.3 litres of fresh oil and that came to the fill plug level.

The drain plug had a few fine metal filings attached, but nothing much. Nicely cleaned up

Lying on your back, applying POR-15 is a hazardous business, full PPE required  :lol:

You don't want to be breathing in the fumes from that, or get in in your hair or skin.  Despite precautions, some paint managed to drip down my right wrist without me noticing, so I'll be wearing  that for a week or two!

Wow, looking good.

A slight diversion from laying on my back under the car

This was KIMI 3 today, left at local garage, awaiting MOT test :



...and, a couple of hours later....

Clean pass, no advisories   

I was hoping for that result, but with a 39 year old car, one can never be sure!
