Alright well so far this weekend I haven't done much what with mother's day and all, but I did get my gas tank cleaned and bumper shocks out.
We used a gas powered powerwasher to clean all the gunk out of the tank, and it seems to have worked well. I'm letting it dry now, and plan to slosh around some gas in it tomorrow to work out any remainting water. It's not perfectly clean, but it's good enough not to ruin any gas I put in the tank like it would before. Next time out I'll go ahead and paint the outside with some black rustoleum to protect it before putting it back in the car.
I also dissasembled all the stuff around the fuel filler to get a good look at the damage and what needs to be done to the area (pics). The arsehat PO just filled it with copious amounts of caulk, which subsequently rusted the fark out of the entire area.
Sometime this week I'm going to see if I can steal my roomate out to the ranch long enough to throw everything together enough to be able to drive the car. I'd like to attempt to move (drive) the Z up to Fayetteville so I can keep working on it in our garage, and not be limited to only working on it during the weekends (and gas... can't forget the travel cost). Not sure if that'll be possible, but we'll see.
