| Can't really blame you there Bob!
I would certainly be up for it if the car is ready and I can get the time off - will look forward to hearing the date. |

| Thanks Bob,
The tank is in a pretty bad way so I will certainly take my time with it and do a thorough job! What you smoking around in these days ? |

| Yes mate... that's the one!
The tank I had was totally perforated in the seams and was "pouring" rather than dripping! 
There's a lot of preparation required and all this blurb on the can about how it's done. Take a lot of time with the prep. And don't forget to thoroughly stir the sealant! *Someone* didn't do that and made a bit of a mess of it!
Sealed mine a treat though and didn't leak again (at least for the 18 months following the repair when I still had the car). B |

| This type of thing Bob ?

You need a P4 fuel tank mate? That's a design unique to the P4 I'm afraid. You could try what I did with POR15 tank sealer - seemed to stop the leaking. All the best, Bob |

| Thanks Guys!
Not that many left at all then, So I will try my hardest to save it, within my modest budget! Bob, going to have a go at mopping it first, as there is 'some' decent paint on it, as that will cost next to nothing to do, and then think about a respray. Just trying to source a few bits to get it running properly and help build a better picture, so if any one can help with a fuel tank & fuel lines, As typically when I sold my last one I included a shed full full of parts in with the sale........... |

| According to my figures which were last updated in July 2011, there are 39 P4's in the country and 11 of those are taxed.
The one on Gumtree belongs to a friend of mine. Harry Miller and is one of the best examples left. 
Fingers crossed this one you now have Matt is going to be a good one, will see you soon. |

| Good evening!
How we all doing? Take my advice MC... if the pink paint worries you... GET A RESPRAY. You simply can't fix it with polishing products and the like! I spent nearly as much on them as a respray and it was still the same after! All the best, Bob |

| I also have a pink/red P4 currently sorned and needing welding, painting, and overhaul. Likely to start work in June on it.
Mark (Vantastic) has a black one on the road, and there is a white one up in Stornowey advertised on Gumtree. I am sure there must be others, but numbers on DVLA are down to about a dozen it seems (taxed or sorned) |

| Hi All,
Just to let you know, I am back in the folds of 33 ownership again!, thanks to Alex and Shrew, I am now the owner of a red/pink P4. Its going to be a while before she is on the road, and back to her former glory!, But the basis of a decent car, we think are there. She is being kept at Shrew's workshop where work starts next weekend, and I am looking forward to it! No doubt there will be endless questions and bits needed! Does anyone know how many P4's there are on the road ? Matt |
