Looking good Mart, with regards to the tank vents i would expect to see 3 lines maybe, vent, feed, return but that is a guess.

good work!

Curious as to what you used to strip the underbody sealant?

First of all cleaned it with degreaser, ideally I would have liked to use a pressure washer but I had to do it with an open hose pipe as I was in the garage.
Then scrapped off what I could with a scrapper. I then attacked it with one of those round wire brush attachments for the angle grinder. You can buy them at Bunning’s..

It takes a long time though, I’m planning on cleaning the surface with prepsol and scuff with 80 grit prior to epoxy

Quick update.

Front end in etch and high build primer. I didn’t fancy using the 2K Epoxy due to the chemicals.
So far really pleased with the results.



I purposely left it un-sanded, I’ll sand smooth prior to the 2nd coat of build primer. I just wanted to get the filler into the low spots directly onto the steel rather than the etch
