One question I had for you guys is how should I go about removing the trailer hitch under the bumper? Take a look at the last two photos and you'll see that it appears to be attached to the fuel tank. I don't want to remove it and all chaos breaks loose with gas seeping out through the holes, any ideas? Thanks in advance

 

nice car man
paint still looks like new!
congrats on the purchase!

about the hitch...im no expert...but just unscrew it maybe?

 

one very easy solution is to go to a mechanic an ask to have them saw it off rite before it meets the tank. Looks like the bolts are attched to the gas tanks from the pic. You can try unbolting it but gas can leak and u may have to re-weld those holes.

 

That's not the gas tank. That's the spare tire well. Just unbolt it and seal the holes.

The gas tank is under the rear seat.

Nice car

 

i now feel like a d!ck...but yup,,that is a spare tire well

 

I feel stupid now

Thanks for clearing that up, I'll take that bad boy apart tomorrow.

 

Man this is one heavy-duty hitch, almost impossible to get the bolts to budge even a notch. In order to remove the hitch, I'm going to have to take off the bumper...not sure if I want to do that myself or just take it to a mechanic for the labor. The price couldn't be that high, because all I want is for him to rid me of this hellish contraption.

 

wow. nice car. it really looks new.
