But alas there was a problem. Car started misfiring on the trip to get it safetied. I had to go to Plan B.

After Pines, I replaced the fuel filter but one of the fuel fittings got broken and in order to fix it out came the rear subframe and fuel tank!

Thanks John. It is a really clean car - now to the classifieds! I am hoping to fund a 2wd rally car with the proceeds. Wink
