After what seemed like a very long winter, the breakfast meet at Battlesbridge finally started up again. We must have been a bit keen to get there as we were only the second car to arrive.
It was a beautiful sunny morning and plenty of cars started arriving. Before long the food and beer tent was open and coffee and sausage sandwiches were the order of the day.
There were some nice cars there including a Mk1 Cortina with a V-Tec engine in and a very clean Mk2 Lotus Cortina. It was a good day and I'm looking forward to more of these meets through the summer.
Once I'd got home I decided to go into the garage and do a bit more investigating on the 'works' fuel tank. I put the wire brush attachment onto my electric drill and attacked the areas where I'd found the holes the day before.
I also went right along the bottom of the tank and found six smaller areas where it looked like some smaller holes had been soldered. (Or possibly lead filled)
I'm now undecided on whether to try and have it repaired or just re-fit it and not use it. It is part of the cars history though and it's a rare bit of kit, so I'd like it in there if only for display purposes. I have some thinking to do!
