Picked up a newer fuel tank earlier as found mine had several holes in it. It would explain the fuel economy and smell of fuel at fill-up. The rust was rather thick and only spotted it as removing all the rust from the car.

Re: What work did you do on your car today?
On the cruiser - Removed intake, cleaned intake, refitted intake. C*** of a job and then some, whole fuel system and EGR has to come out to get the manifolds off. But it's clean now and running better than ever!
Audi - Changed plugs and leads, no more misses at idle or dead-spots through the rev's. Tacho still has a mind of its own sometimes though

Re: What work did you do on your car today?
Put all the bolts in the bellhousing (knocked my table that had them all sitting in order so was a bit fun finding which bolts went where lol)
Installed slave cylinder
Installed shifter bracket
Test fitted parker globe holders I bought off eBay in the facelift headlights And they don't fit. The ones off my 121 fit for so might trawl the wreckers for some.
Started prepping replacement sump to replace my dented leaky one, will probably knock over the sump this week
After all that's done I'll get dad to degas my aircon so I can replace my heatercore.
