Update on the tank replacement.....

Repaired tank is now in the 86 5ktq.  Wasn't nearly as hard as I had been
imagining.  Lots of things need to be disconnected and removed, but overall,
I would rate this easier than a clutch.  Finished putting the tank lines on
this weekend.  Tightened up all the tank mounts.  Ensured the differential
was on tightly.  Re-attached the ebrake cable and the vacuum lines for the
diff solenoid.  I have the new fuel accumulator, but haven't attached it
yet.  Finished taking off the front calipers and spray painted one of the
G-60 replacements  a nice gray/silver color with engine enamel.  Hopefully
it lasts a while.  Also finished draining the brake lines, just need to
flush out the master cylinder and then I can attach the G-60's and fill up
with the nice blue brake fluid :).  Also will install the ATE power disc's
and the Pagid pads.  Have to pick up some bolts for the drive shaft and then
I will be re-attaching that as well.  After that's all done, all that will
be left will be putting the exhaust back on and getting the new tires
mounted/balanced, inspected and an alignment done.  Looking to be back on
the road within 3 weeks!!!  I CAN'T WAIT!

Plans for this summer...

I will be installing an autometer boost gauge, fitting the bypass valve in
and swapping in a K-24 turbo. I hope to have that all done by 4th of July.
Once all that work is done, I will only need a paint job and some minor seat
repair on the drivers seat.

course now I get to look forward to working on the Hyndai Excel next....
hmm I'm considerably less excited about that...
