That petrol looks like muddy water.. Did it take long to remove the tank and drain the crap out?

didnt take long to get the tank out, getting it back in was a bit harder.

tommorow involves fixing the drivers window regulator. seemed a bit jumpy and wobbly. then stopped going up all the way.

maybye a broken rivet or something, hopefully.

So took my car to the mechanics to get an inspection :)

Went to pick it up and he gave me two pages of things to fix! Lol... Buut he said nothing was major so woo :)

Here's the pages:

So some things to do, but not that expensive to do... And the mechanic said my car was real nice on the outside even with the screwed bonnet, roof and boot :D :D :D and the interior was heaps nice so its worth fixing. :D That makes me happy :)

Would LOVE to paint the bay and make that so pretty but im not getting a full re spray. only painting the bonnet, roof and boot. I would save to get it all done but i gotta save some money for uni next year. xD
