Fuel tank has been checked, cleaned and painted, ready to fit. Fuel sender was faulty, but a simple earthing issue was fixed and now OK. Fuel tank straps have had POR15 treatment too.

And, as posted a while back, Suspension bolts cleaned and re-plated.

So, re-assembly of back end is the next task!

Just keeping this topic alive! I had some electric roller doors fitted this week, so took the opportunity to remove all the covers from KIMI and give her a clean. The scuttle paint is dreadful, but rest of the car not to shabby for 42 years old!

Now I have the garage a bit more sorted I'm determined to make some more progress towards getting her back on the road.
