New panels

So the first problem I had was the new front wing that has been fitted, has no fuel access flap. The panel was available but is about £70-80 more expensive. The access in the old panel is without defect so I thought I would just spend some time cutting it out and fitting it to the new panel. Today, when picking up some new bits, I asked about the old petrol tanks. Pre 68. They have the filler cap under the bonnet. Would they fit my bug?

I was told that it will, I just need to get a new petrol cap to fit the new tank. This worked out really well as I was thinking that I should use some fuel tank sealer as it is almost 40 years old. Who knows what the inside is lined with now!


Also got the rubbers for all windows, the engine bay and the floor to body gasket. The accelerator and clutch cable was also included in my purchases.
