Got a little more work done this weekend.
Got the gas tank out, luckily I ran it down to the low fuel light so it was nice and light, lol.
Also ordered a new fuel level sensor without a check valve and new fuel lines on the tank. Figured this is a good idea as to remove the tank to replace those lines would be a pain in the butt.
I worked on practicing my bubble flares on some of the old lines on the axle and think I got it down.
Bought a roll of 3/16" copper nickle brake line and a bunch of M10x1.0 bubble flare nuts/unions.
I also dropped my axle off at a local sandblasting place and should get that back in a day. Then I can paint it with POR15 and top coat with jetta silver.
Here are some pics.
Pic of how rusty the old hard line was
Pic of my bubble flare test piece, feel confident now to do it on the car now.
Ill post some more pics once I get the new lines all bent up and installed in place, the copper nickle stuff is awesome to work with.
