New Tank.. no jb weld needed..
engine bay looks cleaner
engine bay looks cleaner, hit with quick non oily detailer to get grease off new tank as well


3 10MM Bolts, soaked in penetrant overnight, hose clamp pliers, 2 small hoses ontop, and large hose on bottom of tank, used a clean fluid transfer pump to get old coolant out, followed by installing and topping new tank off, then bleeding air from plastic screw under plenum on passenger side no leaks.
