Ever removed a Miata gas tank?
The lemons car tank is filled with about an inch of rust, its done. I have another donor car to get tank from but according to the book it does not look like a fun job. Any hints

I got a parts car that I'm getting tank out of, might just sawzall the thing out the top. But the lemons car....oh boy guess its going to give me a chance to go through the rear of the car and make sure everything looks good.
Could I just drop the disconnect the front PPF and rear dampers and brake lines and then lower the rear sub frame all together? Leaving the rear and axles and all undisterbed.

you can drop everything in the way of the gas tank in 20-30min and have the gas tank out in another 10-20min.
Take the 4 bolts out of the drive shaft, 2 bolts out of the ppf at the tranny, 2 bolts on both shock perches, brake line where it meets the sub frame on the passenger side, Both e brake cables, and then 6 bolts holding the sub frame to the car.
the gas tank has like 4-6bolts from what i saw.

Funny you say that, the other day AJ and I did brakes and after the 2nd 12 pack we had to give up. 75% done. Just the rt rear to go...could not see any more. Want to go for the 1st test drive?
