Yep, It was a $2-3 fine for me

I had a similar situation when I bought my Z. The car was originally in a guys name, but he died and passed the car on to his grandson. The grandson never transferred the title and then sold the car to me. I just went to the DMV and explained the situation. They wrote the papers like I had bought the car from the old guy, but was late transferring the title. They charged me a fee but it was only a couple bucks. So I recommend you go to the DMV and ask them what you should do.

You could check out RTz's build thread here - http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/79806-rt260-bmw-m-powered/page__st__80 His radiator is a bit different shape, but you could easily do something similar.

Just did the last step today, now just to let it dry for a few days! My opinion of this product so far is that its great. Cleaning the tank is easy, etching it is easy and then the sealer it self appears to be a very good compound. I'm excited to see how it is dry.

awesome. I ordered my por kit the other day so hopefully I can do the same soon.

How did you make your flange? I would think it would need to go into the tank so it doesn't interfere with the car when mounting the tank. This is what I was thinking... or am I way off? In case I decide to solder, what kind did you use and what flux? I've never soldered steel, but I think you need silver in the solder? Are the breather exits soldered on? Thanks for all your help

At least I'm not the only one who would do that much for a tank then I cut 2 square holes in the top and I pulled as much of the sealer out as I could. There is still a little bit in some cracks to scrape out yet. There is some residue/varnish type stuff left behind though. Will the marine clean remove that or should I get something else like MEK or HCl? For your holes did you make new patches or reuse the cut out? I cut 3 sides of a rectangle and peeled the metal back for access inside. I was hoping I would be able to fill in the gap when welding but it looks like it might be to much. I used 1/32" abrasive discs. Just curious, why did you flange your holes? Why solder?

You should be able to rotate the cover one way or another so that it clears that tab. Then you can just lift straight up I believe.

Boiling it didn't get everything out, so now what? I'm thinking about cutting a panel off the bottom and pulling the rest out since all of the sealer is now loose, but in big pieces. Is this a good idea or bad? (I don't have much cash so I'm not interested in tank re-nu or something like that)

I was looking for that guys tank process thread before but I couldn't find it. Thanks for pointing me to it.

I found some epoxy to seal the holes. I'll call around to get it boiled out today. [edit] seems like no one in the metro can boil a tank for me. I did find one engine machine shop that might be able to do it, but I would have to go in tomorrow. Is there any acid I can by to do it my self? What about sealing (semi-permanently) the vent holes? I would like to get rid of the vapor canister because the rubber lines are all cracked and deteriorating. Can I use aluminum caps or would it be better to use brass or steel or something? Can I epoxy them on or should I weld/braze them on? thanks

I just took off the "refurbished" tank that the PO gave me only to find that it is still rusty and there are a few holes (3, maybe 1/8") that aren't sealed very well. For money reasons I want to keep this tank so how can I get the old sealer out? To plug the holes I was thinking of some sort of epoxy that will withstand fuel. Is this ok? Also would it be necessary to re-seal the tank or can I just get rid of all the rust with electrolysis?

Took an alternator out of the junkyard and of course it doesn't work I think I'll just buy a reman. I started pulling emissions stuff off today. I think it looks a lot cleaner and I doubt it would have worked very well because some of the lines were cracked. All I have is a before picture right now. I should have an after picture tomorrow. What is this? (the nipple thing, this is the front left of the car) Can I get rid of it? My gas tank is forming this residue on the bottom. I think I have a leak, but I'm not to worried about that; what I am worried about is what else is happening. This red stuff is coming out of the tank. The PO had the tank refurbished and the inside was lined with this red stuff (felt like soft rubber). I took a fuel line off after the pump and cranked the car to collect some fuel. I collected about a cup and it had a really faint red tint. Is this bad for my pump/carbs/engine? Was I supposed to do something to treat the inside lining?

After all my cleaning the alternator is still the same. I'm going to go to the junkyard and try to find a gm alternator for the gm alternator swap. I think it will be a good route for later down the road.

I didn't know you couldn't hone an aluminum master cylinder. Good thing I didn't do that I guess!
