RScab Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) Can u just replace the inner part of the fuel filler cap section?? Edited October 24, 2010 by RScab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest John Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 im gonna try because it is rotten behind here down ward so. next tool to purchase is a dremmel to get in & cut the panel behind out . The inner filler section is spot welded only 4 tho so as its rotten im gonna give it a go for sure. hopfully i can get it off then all i need to do is get 1 or 2 spot welds to hold it. harder part looks like putting the hole inner sheet back in place. see wot happens lol.
