Third Gen Down

[Darren]

Its FIXED! Fuel Filter, Fuel PUMP, Fuel RELAY later it runs like it should... Combination of bad pump and bad relay I guess was the problem although the relay was less then 2 weeks old?? I cut the hole... I had too... There was no way I was dropping the axle the exhaust and the tank. Couple hours later jobs done. Now just need to seal the trap door after I drive it around a little bit and check for leaks. Thanks for the information guys, been a real crappy day. I took pictures too if anyone wants to see the trap door method on a 3rd gen...

On 3rd gens you have to cut an enormous hole to get the pump out due to the metal lines. Cutting the metal lines to get the pump out is not something I would do or recommend...but there are lots of people that do it that way.

Yeah it sucked The hole I cut was just like the fourth gen style but I did have to cut the metal lines, but when I have time I will post the pictures and show its really not as bad as everyone makes it sound out to be.

I'll get more pictures of the finished job, when I finish the job lol. Its all hooked up now with the rubber lines but I didnt take any pictures yet. I have not sealed it yet because I want to ensure there are no leaks... More to come then!

way to call me out! um, its still closed with duct tape, but the car has been sitting as I have not been around to drive it. I will finish it this week one night tho and will get some good pics up. I will probably do a write up for the thirdgen for this sites reference!

[Darren]

ok job is done and all sealed up... Good thing no one can see it with the carpet there!

Looks good, dude. I can't believe the amount of rust up there on top of the gas tank.

its actually not that bad at all, completely solid. Just different color I guess, idk. I was just pleased to see the car it self was still solid under there (the floor boards) and such. Anyhow its fixed and running better then ever, I think the pump was dying for a long time or weak...
