As they say, paint covers a multitude of sins. But it's air tight which was the main thing I was after. The red is just the standard zinc oxide, I think I'll do a black top coat as I'm not planning on it being visible. You can see in the top picture how much the panel warped when I was welding on the filler, I had to use Cleco's to force the metal back into shape to weld on the cap.
The bottom pic shows my swirl pot, that's about a litre of fuel with the fuel lines taken from the Mazda's filler. The only thing I'm worried about is if the welding has somehow narrowed the inside, but I won't know that until the car is running. Oh well.
Next job, floor and side panels, my first venture into aluminium.
