If they are blue then that's what I've been recommended in the past.

How is this supposed to come out? I´ve allready taken out (or in) the round bits on it.

They are so fragile, I´ve already broken the front one. Are these available in other cars? Cars there are not 30 years old laughing

Been a long way since I updated this last time, I will try to update it with pics of all the work I´ve putted into it since my last post in here. Gone a looong way, bought a welder, learned-ish how to weld, paint, work with metal. The car has now 90% of all the welding done, the underside fully painted, only left to do is to weld a patch near the right door hinges, reeinstall the sunroof, as I replaced all the roof skin, and then prime, block and paint (hate this part Confused)

Some progress that I made some time ago, in the meanwhile I got to fully paint the underside of the car.

ps:Damn it, the photos are in the reverse order, but you get the idea. Embarassed

Hello, been trying to setup the fuel system and fuel lines while the car is still on the jig, does the gte uses this smaller metal fuel pipe? I can´t remenber if I took it from the GTE or not Confused And in the photo I am holding it, would it be it´s position, or just my imagination? lol


ps:Yes I did drilled holes in my sills and passed a rubber hose from the sunroof drain holes trought the sills lol.

The fuel pipe is 10mm and it is clipped below the fuel tank as you are holding it, I will try dig out a picture, I did the same as you with the sunroof drain at the front and left the rear where it was. loving the white underside, couldn't do that in this country, it would be black in no time with the weather we have.
