Looking to see if there is a good place to get my fuel tank refurbished. I have the POR kit, but just a little skeptical and didn’t know if it would be better to send it out and have it redone or if anyone knows of a better kit.
FINALLY intending to get my teener back on the road after 17 years off. Many things I’d love to do before hand, but I’m at the point where I just want to get it back on the road and enjoy it and damn the cosmetics! Recently drove a customers 1.8L after installing factory FI back on it and it reminded me of how much fun these cars are! It hopefully gave me the kick in the ass to start back on mine! Thanks! |

Last week, I dropped my tank off at the last remaining radiator shop in Tucson that also does gas tanks. They quoted $125 for cleaning and painting the outside, and were VERY strongly against any internal coating. Once I get the tank back I can report on results.
