everyone is going on about little secrets, not really secret i just wanted 2 leave some things for supreise for when it is finished! when being the word at the moment
not got any good pics of the mod really cos the car is in more peices now than it was a month ago, looking a real mess and very depressing!
did this ages ago, just need 2 make something 2 lock it in place but it works pretty well! had loads of ideas, move fuel filler 2 window, move 2 by the door, centre of boot! then i realised that the CHEEPEST and easiest way was 2 have it where it was and make the light pivot! tried loads of different pivots but thay all fouled the bodywork, was looking in 2 using runners but then bloke who is a joiner who workis from the farm gave me this pivot, its the same as used on double glazing windows por like lot of u have, where it pivots and moves out at same time.......... its works pretty well! sorry for that boring story but here are pics............

mate if its close to the bodywork just use a small funnel and pop it in everytime u top up
so long as it locks securly it will pass mot, or are u not bothering with one? and using it as a trailored car
very impressed indeed! bets its hard work with no boot to get in!

If you could get it to pop out automatically and pop in automatically it would be too sweet, cos you could then put one of your Co2 purge kits in it... Sorry, another idea, and not enough time...
