Hi all. I have a new rear valance to go on. What would people's recommendations be around having the fuel tank in place while this is done? The boot floor itself is fine.

I have a few parallel projects on the go where the tank needs to go back in, but at the same time id like the new panel to go on.

Patience is not one of my virtues.

Thanks in advance, Dave.

Take out the tank. A lot safer. You may find some extra stuff to hit with rust convertor or touchup paint while you have it out.

Takes about half an hour to get the tank out. Takes years to get over burns.... assuming you're not killed.

Thanks, the tank is already out. Will hold off putting it back in (i.e. will try this patience thing) until the valance is done. Thanks all for your input.
