Hi all I am plating my quarter chop tomorrow (welding it in)
I have a gas tank that im going to remove do I need to remove my filler neck (petrol) or is it fine left there and do I need to remove batteries or un plug them
I have a fire extinguisher ready what else do I need to consider to make the job a safe and good one
Disconnect the Battery, remove the tail lights so you can see in side and go for your life. Give it a wipe down with degreaser if your keen but it should be fine mate.
Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!!....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.Originally Posted by Rogue Dung Beetle

I was to scared to weld near my gas tank so I previously plated it with cardboard and vinyl tape but wont go oof road with it so timd to do it right
Cardboard.. Great idea... :-o
I'm kidding by the way. Don't take a burnable product to the tank.
Grab so sheet metal and place it between area being welded and the tank..

My gas tank was empty so I dropped it out
I welded the underneath of the body but couldn't sit under the car and weld aswell as wear a mask
so I took the mask off and found that I was squinting for the next three days and looked like a stoner with the bloodshot eyes all glased and squinty
in short always wear a welding helmet. And safety glasses when grinding haha
Tomorrow I will finish grinding the underside then prep and paint it
does anyone have ideas on waterproof sealing (primer filler)
Not happening today too wet damn it
