An ARB is an anti roll bar :) and fuel tank swap is no harder than anything else involved really, ideally I would like to have a tank in the spare wheel well and run the fuel lines inside the car. That way i can smooth the fuel filler flap on the quarter and properly rust treat the rear arches and underside :)

That makes sense :)

Sounds like it could be a very interesting project  :cool:

Cheers dude :)

Arches rolled on the nearside and all the welding done on the nearside as well :) now I just have filler, primer, Seam sealer and stone chip to go! Oh, and then start work on the offside. FML, why did I start this!

Fantastic work... Looks like new.  :cool:

MOT fail on the lack of side repeaters though no?
