    Currently taking the fuel filler out. undid the hose clamps and got splashed in the face with fuel. The van hasn't had fuel put in since super was still on the market and hasn't had a fuel cap since about 2001. :Chin: Very strange?? Time to empty the tank and get on with it.

    Good luck with the build. Doing a body off job is big...but the results are well worth it. I'm just coming up to 2 1/2 years on mine and it's almost finished....... luckily, because I don't think I could take much more.

    Always been the plan, just been too scared to begin. Got all the inspiration I need here. Looking forward to it with trepidation haha
    Just jacked the van up to stop the fuel from leaking. Took 10 litres out. Thought I might filter it and put in the HQ, poor old ute wouldn't kmow what hit it!!

    One piece of advice....bag and tag all the bolts, nuts and screws etc. Even if you are going to replace them as you go at least you will know what to replace them with.....and take heaps of pics before you strip it right down. I did that with mine and it was invaluable when it came to putting it back together.

    Good job Dago! I'm doing the same, my body is sitting on a rolling chassis and held on by 4 finger tight bolts! Bodywork which will include a full blast and under body work will commence at the end of the month (hoping).
    The chassis will also be blasted and rebuilt - then rejoined back to the body.

    Body looks super staright. Rust is minimal, good luck on the rebuild, look forward to seeing it progress. Hopefully soon I will be doing t5he same thing as you. I agree also though, bag n tag all bolts and screws and take a ton of photos!!!! Good luck and there is no need to be but also you dont have to go like a Another point Ive found is pick up a Gregory's workshop manual, they are invalueable.
