WTB: Fuel Tank (NZ)

Can any of you Kiwi guys help me out, I need a new fuel tank.

To cut a long story short:
- Fuel gauge broke a few months ago.
- Ran out of gas due to the gauge not working (stupid I know)
- Fuel tank not vented for some reason and suction warped the tank inwards.
- drove around for a few months with no issues, but now the metal has cracked where the tank was bent and is leaking pretty badly out of the bottom.

So yeah, does anyone have a spare one lying around and how much do you want for it?
If I can't get one I will look at getting it repaired but thought I would try and replace first...

Bump - can anyone help out? Otherwise looks like I'll get it welded up.

I have one out of an '86 that I have wrecked as the front end of the car is rusted out. I'm in Auckland, but don't know the logistics of shipping a used fuel tank...filled with water maybe?

if Mike's one above doesn't work out, PM Boyd (KiwiStaz), he grabbed the one I had off me in Hamilton but he was looking at taking it down with him to Ashburton/Chch to where his Starion is, so perhaps see if he's taken it down already. From memory he only wanted the pump rather than the whole tank.

Also have one in car in Christchurch, been sitting a number of years but you're welcome to it. You'd have to remove it yourself however but I could supply some tools.

I do still have the one I got off Fuel and would have offered it to you but it is still in Hamilton. If you know of a way of getting it down, its yours
