Not exactly the answer to your question--and most of us prefer to do it
ourselves where possible--but it looks like you're going to have your
hands full with this project (can't imagine parts would be easy to
source). Why not 'farm out' the gas tank to one of the commercial
cleaning/repair outfits while you attend to other issues?

I've only paid "poor" price for it. I'm intending to do
most of the work myself. The superleggera frame and
aluminium cladding is basically sound as is the chassis.
It's just all very tatty. The original straight six engine
runs but I'm having to dismantle just about everything
else. The plan is to get everything working and them
assess how much I'm prepared to spend on the paintwork and
interior. Meanwhile, still looking for help on the tank
