Gas Tank Rx-7 1983
 
Hello all, Can anyone suggest options to replace a rusty Gas Tank on a RX-7 1983? The car in great shape and currently garage kept, but I'd like to get it back on the road.
I have owed it and another one both with Tank issues.

There are two options. One is to have the current one cleaned and resealed. The other option is to find a used one which may or may not need the same treatment as option one.

Had this tank cleaned but was told they can’t do anymore to it. Pin holes in top and pick up is shot. Pulled tank from other car and same result. So 2 cars with no tank.

Yes, I saw the amazing gas Tank thread, looks fantastic and I have renewed hope. I’ll contiune researching and gathering the parts to get this done. The car is in great shape and I hate that it is sitting.
Currently engine and carbs are stock, only modified with headers, silencer and muffler combined with lightened fly wheel. Any suggestions on carb upgrade cause it has been sittting and I’m sure that carb is gonna have issues.

when rebuilding the nikki carb DO NOT REPLACE the needle and seats, it is a pain in the ass to get up and running..... trust me.
