the removing of the tank is easy, once you have carried out the complete cunt of a job that is undoing the clips that hold the pipes on

Unless it's leaking, really don't bother.

I find it easy to pop them off, it's getting the fuckers back on that's the trouble.

the real problem is like with mine, is that as mr muppet said the drain holes block and they rot from the inside to the out... i took the under seal off to the floor pan and couldnt find any suitable metal to weld to

Our front cross member looked like that.

Until the grommet fell through, dropped the radiator onto a bolt, and then blew the head gasket!

Oh the joys of running an old car.
