Thanks for the input, I've ordered some of the Caswell and will clean and seal. In terms of methods for cleaning the inside (its not that bad, some rust spots here and there, no previous liner), is there a real difference between vinegar and muriatic acid? I need to save the outside paint so...

Thanks folks for the input but Im looking to use this tank (and have it last) without worrying about the aesthetics too much. as you can see the tank already been painted and it looks good so this area with the leaks I would just blend instead of redoing the whole tank. let me ask more precise...

Inside is ok, some surface rust here and there. I would just clean and use if it wasnt for the holes.

I think somewhere in the midst of the transtion from TD to TDI so mid mk3 era.

Spoke to Cherry Turbos, good folks. Gave a visual inspection via email and told me its likely ok, if whoever rebuilt it last was reputable.

Even with a sticky wastegate I still get 6L/100 on teh highway. City is much worse though because these old turbos are huge compared to today's standards and spool much later in the rpm range. That said theres no intercooler or EGR on these dirty oldies.
