So half an hour later my mate pops by to see what i'm doing.
'that bucket looks like it's going to collapse Si!'
'Ha you fool it's been like that for 30 minutes it's as steady as a...'
almighty crash followed by about 6 litres of oil and coolant tidal wave flowing over my mates garage and a cracked water pump cover just for good measure.
Gutted.

Thats a bit like the Carnivore YPVS350LC restoration. Original tank, very old, very rare. I says
'oooo that looks like a rather big bit of rust love...'
'yes dear, don't feckin touch it, I need to treat it'
Two days later his mate Bishop says
' ooooo that looks like a rather big bit of rust mate'
'yeah Kev, don't feckin touch.....'
Too late, one big fat Bishops finger through the tank
Rather a long and stressful time trying to find a YPVS tank
