and as i wasnt allowed on the welder i swapped my smooth boot over









then i decided i wanted to relocate the petrol cap so i stripped the rear out then out came the grinder






i then prceeded to cut the filler neck




after i cut the filler neck i run around looking for ramdon hoses which i found on a ford transit intercooler so removed without boss seeing and cut it to fit



after that i decided i needed to find the right place for it to sit so i mess about






then i thought this would be the best place



different angle



thats all i done for now tomorrow i will make up a breather pipe and re-fit the petrol tank and get the plates welded to the doors
