scored a free 180sx fuel tank today. pin hole leak, get it repaired. came with filler neck and everything, we had to get a replacement one for a car in our yard, from a wrecker it's only $140 without the pump. they sit under the car and allow for the spare tyre well. i will need to cut and reweld the spare tyre well a little shallower as it's made for a space saver, but i will be happy with the spare sitting higher into the boot, i don't ever use it for anything else.
