2000 Vs Ute
looks pretty clean in there, i remember opening my fuel tank area up for the first time, i could have recoated the sahara desert with the red dust in there =P
it gets so dirty in there bcause there are like 2-3 holes from the ground into there, presumably for drainage. more likely for dust collection.

by the way. do you ever hear a constant "electrical whirring" while driving, which would be the fuel pump?
i only ask because it appears in the utes there is about 2 bits of thin metal seperating fuel tank area from cabin.

just make sure the handbrake works and it doesnt roll in looks to good to get wet. although if it were a statesman i would say let it in, a Barge is ment to float right?
cant wait to hear when you get this on the road. looks good, and will look even better when your done by the sounds of it

but yeah check out for the pump noise, i was told it was common, so tempted to sound deaden the cabin/tank area because of it.
