BC Fuel Tank frustration

Hello, working on patching my fuel tank on my 1984 GSL and I am getting frustrated. just when I think I have gotten all the holes more appear.
Has anyone installed a aftermarket aluminum tank?
If you have could you let me know size and maybe some pictures.

I have got the eastwood tank sealer kit but want to get all the holes before coating and there is a lot of rust around the level sensor and pickup openings

looking at alternatives.


thanks

I would also like to know, I think mine's beyond repair now. I patched everything I could and it's kept gas from gushing out but I still can't put more than half a tank in. I know mazdatrix sells a tank for $500 but that's too much for me. Alternatives?
