I thought I would quickly share what I found whilst stripping the rear of the car today.
The PO had welded (poorly) a patch on the rear RH wing but the welding splatter has almost burnt through the fuel tank feed line to the pump! The blister was so thin I punctured it with a pin!
Always make sure the inside surface is clear and safe before welding on the other side!
A welding warning!

Jeepers. I wonder if the car had fuel in it when he was doing the welding....

Wow, Rich, that's scary. It makes you wonder sometimes what people are smoking when they work on cars. Well, let's hope they're not smoking at all !
