just for your info…did some additional work today.
removed the old crusty fuel filler neck, and drained the fuel from the tank to replace the neck….however….on removing the old neck i must have applied pressure to the side of the car
the car must not have been steady on the stands…(well it is on gravel)
and the bloody things toppled over trapping my arm under the car
soiled my pants i did
managed after much wiggling to get me arm out with just a few scrapes
LESSON FOLKS…..if your car is on axle stands…make sure its level and firmly steady
ive now got the arduous task of figuring out how to get it back on the stands
the lot is flat to the floor…dozy twonk
on a lighter note…i can finish the filler neck swap tomorrow as my new gasket is at VW stoke

Mate you are lucky to get out of that with only a scrape! It's a bit late now but I always put the wheels I've taken off the car back under it when working on it for exactly that reason. Be careful dude it's a lovely car but not worth getting squished for!
Bonnet looks really cool, as you said a bit different and nice bit of fab work with the filler neck too. Keep up the good work….safely :wink:
