Hey Jaz, it looks like a sight bowl/glass or if it has a small guaze filter in it then it would have been used as a fuel filter.

Good to see you working on the beasty! :wink:

you got a helluva lot of work to get done on it by the looks of it. Heaps of rust. But keep pluggin away you'll get it. You got ideas for the final product as far as paint, wheels interior etc?

Yeah for paint i plan to use the same colour that is on the car. For rims, I am going something like 17" or 18". 7" wide of course. For the interior i just plan to use marine carpet on the doors. And the normal carpet on the floor and keep the seats orignal and not touch them.
