Well here is the story
I put a parts wanted add for an 86-87 TR fuel tank.
I got a response I gave the guy a call and everything sounded good.
Well on 7-29-07
I get a phone call
Dude - I will be in your neighborhood so if you want I can bring the tank over by you. A near by remote location.
ME - No problem at what time
Dude - About 2:00 PM at "X" Place
ME - that’s real close to me just call when you are almost there.
Dude - OK
ME - OK
At about 2:25 2:30 Pm I meet with this Dude.
I take a quick look at the tank "top Side" because it still had gas in it and I didn't want the gas to make a mess in my Van.
It looks ok at a quick glance.
So I gave the guy $125.00 cash for the tank.
I get home and continue working on my car then about 10:30 PM I start cleaning up and getting ready to close shop so I take the gas tank into the garage to put it away and for a close inspection.
And that’s when I realize what a mistake I had made in buying this tank.
Here are some pictures of the bottom of the tank.
