One step closer to separation
Well I am one step closer to taking the body off of the pan. This afternoon I pulled the fuel tank out. Surprisingly it wasn’t to terribly hard to do. The lines that were connected to the tank weren’t dry rot that I could tell and came off with just a little motivation. I’m sure that I’ll eventually end up replacing all the lines for the filler and evap system eventually anyway. If anything most of it will have to be taken out so that it can be painted. Or at least covered up 
Right now the plan is to paint her Chameleon. Not sure exactly which flavor, whether blue-green-purple or what, but right now I’m really digging this gold-lime-green color. I think she would look pretty snazzy with a cool paint job like that and a slightly larger than stock engine. Even just the paint job would be cool though Who knows, she may still end up just plain old VW orange.
