Not exactly the answer to your question--and most of us prefer to
do it ourselves where possible--but it looks like you're going to
have your hands full with this project (can't imagine parts would
be easy to source). Why not 'farm out' the gas tank to one of the
commercial cleaning/repair outfits while you attend to other
issues?<br>

I've only paid "poor" price for it. I'm intending to do
most of the work myself. The superleggera frame and
aluminium cladding is basically sound as is the chassis.
It's just all very tatty. The original straight six
engine runs but I'm having to dismantle just about
everything else. The plan is to get everything working
and them assess how much I'm prepared to spend on the
paintwork and interior. Meanwhile, still looking for
help on the tank cleaning!
