Looks like you're nearly ready for a new 'office' chair...

Is the fuel tank divider to keep the two fuel tanks away from each other?

Seem sealed the engine bay and body deadner in the tank area. Now I have always been a fat seem seal guy and today I sent this picture to a friend who I won’t name and Matt said I should have taped it up and made a skinny line

Nice job Wiz. Body deadened is much smoother than I was expecting. Will you paint colour over the wheel wells later or leave them grey?

I think it will stay grey, next step will be getting the suspension in, then I will take it to Coopers to paint it
I want to paint it green like my Ute because I have some paint left over, Nikki wants me to paint it Dove Blue
