Good for you. Garage floor spring lifts are a pain. I have to swap the springs on my mustang soon, this old body isn't looking forward to it.

That is the plan Curly. Just 1 million details left. Only a few to get it driving.

Thanks Mike. Rear should go faster from front learning curve. Not just the lift. Also cleaning and repairing as I go.

Pulling fuel tank for rear springs. Found an access panel for fuel pump. Thought it did not have one.

I know you know it is not for the 'fuel pump'.
Did you try breaking the bolt loose on the spring? you might get lucky and the captured nut will not break out.
Also, you don't have to completly remove the fuel tank, you just need to move it to the side a bit so you can get a wrench or socket in to hold the nut.

I did? I do? Yeah, 3 am posts should not be allowed.


Whole tank is coming out to clean it. No fuel qty indication. And crappy gas.

Picked a color finally. Tank is not down yet. I got a little excited and wanted to see how the color looks. Color is a Toyota TRD 4Runner color. Now back to the grind.

I love that color! Are you going to put the black accents back on with it? It should look sweet!
