    i couldnt fit the tank under the seat with it the right way up, so i had to turn it on its side, fit another petrol tap at the bottom and put the top of the 5 litre tank onto the side of this tank and now its fits perfect;)

    so how does the tank work as on my stalker i have got a fuel vaccum/filter that slots inside the tank how does your sr work does the petrol just flow from the bottom of the tank or have you got an external fuel pump ?

    when there the right way up you need a fuel pump but as its on its side ive put a tap at the bottom now so its just flows out of the bottom so dont need a vaccum now

    srarted on the back panel again tonight, was going to use the stock undertray but was going to be alot more work so decided to make my own, so got out the fibreglass

    put one layer on to start then since the pic ive put a second layer on and its better but may add another tomorrow

    [​IMG]

    fitted it up and looks ok but wil be alot better once the filler evens it all out

    [​IMG]

    then cut the sides out as it is alot easier to get the panels on, i cant decided wether to leave them open or fibreglass them back over flush with the rest of the panels?

    [​IMG]

    tomorrow ill be starting on glassing the rear seat to the rest of the panels and then starting on the filler
