Well that was a fucking pain in the ass. took about 45 min to get the huge plastic nut for the fuel pump to finally thread on correctly. then took me about an hour & half to bolt the tank back up. It took so long cause i had no idea the exhaust was in the way lol......................Not sure if it will start yet, i don't have jumper cables & the battery in the neon is Drained. But on a good note, the old fuel pump looked horrible

I know they were looking for some mini inspired cars. if so hit us up so we can get some footage!I'ld love to attend it, but i dought i will be ready for it. Trying to get the neon road worthy for heat wave. Then after that i plan on doing the wire tuck on the engine & getting the car ready for paint

So i went home early from work today cause i was sick. I tried relaxing around the house all day & well i just couldn't. So i decided to do something small that would keep me from boredom. I planned on smoothing out the welds of my tank, but i talked myself out of it cause i really didn't want to weaken it. The tank i have didn't have any brackets on it, so i made some. Then i slapped a couple coats of Trim Black on it & a GFC sticker. Came out nice, just wish i would have smoothed out the welds. Oh well



Tomorrow after i work i plan on doing some sheet metal work in the trunk.

well today i got off work around 2pm.................i said fuck it, IM GONNA DRAG THE NEON. I mounted the tank, compressors & my valves, then i rewired everything. I'm still having the issue with my front end so i did it down the street in my neighbor hood. I was only doing about 5mph & it felt great!!! i pulled the neon back into the garage & i raised the front end to inspect the damage. For sure im dragging K-Member, Pinch Welds, Floor Pan, Exhaust, Gas Tank, & then an over sight..................i'm also dragging Tranny Pan. My oil pan is about a 1/4 to 1/2" off the ground as well. So the way i feel now, since im gragging some vital parts to the car.................i don't plan on doing this as much as i would like to. Next time i do it will be to get it on vid.
