Can’t believe it’s mine.

Good info & thank you for the pictures. There is currently a hole in my trunk where they had a fuel cell at one point. Last owner wanted an oem style tank but had issues getting it installed, he used a mechanic that i don’t think was capable of fab work. The filler neck is pretty much horizontal & because of this you cant fill the tank gas just spills out lol.. so I was going to see if I can hang it properly, lower & correct angle. Or just stick another fuel cell in the hole and call it good. I haven’t even looked at this “issue” yet but I’m not overly concerned about it

Looking at your picture, plus looking on Tank's site, you're still a rear fill like me. For sure, try to rehang it. My reason for what I did was with the relocation of springs, no room for exhaust. It was already too close to the old tank and with springs being moved, no way.

I haven’t even looked at the rear springs but I bet they’re moved as well. Would explain the cherry bombs and dump downs. I’d prefer dual exhaust out the back but you’re right I’d probably have to do a fuel cell in the trunk to accommodate that.

Currently yes the tank is rear fill behind the license plate. But the fuel neck is horizontal when I think it should be angled up.. guy said he couldn’t fill the tank all the way up it sills out.

I wouldn’t mind a fuel cell in the trunk, I don’t really need the storage & would be easier to fill (I’m a tall guy lol)

I'm kind of digging the yellow on the car now. I think I would paint the engine bay body color and call it a day. There are a lot of purple cars out there already.....

Welcome. Nice ride. Nice score. Looks like a nice car for the money.

I would rethink putting anyone in a seat with a rollbar in front of them high speed impacts will not be absorbed by foam. If you aren't racing it, just cut the darn thing out. I am an overprotective dad.
Car looks great, seems like a really good deal.

I really do appreciate the concerns! Kids still have car seats with 5 point harnesses, and there would be absolutely no highway driving with them either.. Also, there is no middle bar in front of where they would be sitting, I know exactly what you’re describing. The main loop only has 2 diagonal bars that run forward up driver and passenger side, and then 4 bars that run to the trunk
