My e36

well i removed the gas tank yesterday dumped 2 gallons of gas all over the floor and it melted the bottom of my shoes. today i finished pulling out all the hoses, filler neck and gas tank related things.

[Jeff]

also i removed the rear subframe, trailing arms, basicly the whole rear end of the car.

[Jeff]

i need to cut off all the gas tank strap mounts, do some welding, and fix all the rusty areas so i can paint then undercoat everything. i think im going to relocate my fuel filter in the empty space where the gas tank was so its not on the motor where it is now.
