My original fuel tank wasn't in the best condition and I decided to replace it with one of the new Dansk reproductions. I'd already fitted one to 23eHeure's car and knew they looked and fitted well. Unfortunately the paint on mine replacement didn't even come close to being acceptable so I decided to give it a fresh coat of satin black.
Looks like it was painted with no preparation and with surface rust.

So I started to rub it down for fresh paint. At one point I turned around to grab some more sandpaper and behind me heard the tank falling off the table on to the floor

Great, new tank not looked worse that the old one!

There was no way of banging out the dents so the only choice was to fill them.

After lots of sanding and painting the end result was just about perfect.

Whilst fitting the tank I completed the fuel system...
