And it's off..

Short & sweet today, I spent a few hours in the garage after work and managed to remove both the bulkhead and the fuel tank. The latter was 3/4 full of rusty water, I guess 20 odd years outside with no fuel cap will do that.. It is full of pin holes so I've decided to throw it out, and will find either a good 2nd hand or new tank when the time comes to reassemble.

Bulkhead was pretty straight forward, though I had to cut the bolts that go through the chassis outriggers, as the nuts were rusted solid.

Tomorrow I'll tackle the rear tub and then the engine & gearbox over the weekend. I need to make a little skid with wheels on it, so I can drop the engine on it and still move it around until I'm ready to scrap it. Could be a project for Friday.

Anyway, here are the pics from today.
