[s-cars] Gas Tanks Options

[Peter Schulz]

Tony:

Not sure where you are located, but removing the gas tank involves dropping the entire rear subframe. ( including differential, control arms & brakes & rear struts), disconnecting driveshaft.
you may then find that you also need to replace the brake hard lines in the rear and the fuel lines…

;-)
