Fitting AE101/111 tank into AE80 requires a lot of modification due to the tank design itself. You might have to cut the metal sheet from the seat area or else the tank is gonna sit very low. Easiest to fit would be from 4door AE90/92.

As for the tapak, you can either extend the bracket or use longer screws/nuts with spacers.

Nevertheless, since you're in the process and perhaps found a workaround, please do post some pictures.

Btw, attached is a sample photo where AE80 fitted with AE90 fuel tank.

i think ae1x1 tank into ae80 body isn't too much of a problem, just depends whether the foreman is willing to take the time and effort to do all the knocking work. a big bonus is that exhaust sets from ae1x1 will now be able to used with very minor modifications, avoiding the need to source for ae92 exhaust sets or customizing exhaust routes.

Nicely done! May I know why cut a hole underneath the rear seat? Is it for clearance or to make easier access to the fuel pump?
What was the total cost and most importantly which workshop to do it?

Thanks!
