if your fuel tank is just dirty and rusted inside its an easy fix..just did it to my 72 n600.
take some small gravel and pour inside tank and slosh all around for a while. then clean it out really good with some thinner or such and let it dry. then goto oreilys and get this stuff called red-kote.. its for coating the inside of a rusty tank.. it works awesome!!

It looks just like one I had when I was 16! (20 years ago) I would shave off the front side turn signals, take off the rubber bumpers on the bumpers, Cut the springs, paint it and your good!

Here is a pic of mine after I shaved off the front side turn signals, took off the rubber bumpers on the bumpers, Cut the springs, and painted it. It was also rusty silver when I got it!
