bought it like this. didnt know it at the time until i stripped the interior. im sure it wont pass a track day tech as-is. the hole came in handy for the re-wiring i had to do. should i weld, or seam seal a patch in place......since there is already a hole there, is there something with a trap door in it for access, should i need to do the fuel pump or wiring again. i don't feel like welding on top of the tank. would a seam seal patch be good enough for track techs.

it had a square of sheet metal screwed over it, then duct taped down. indicative of how the rest of the car was. ill probably try rivets and silicone. that will pass a typical tech?

I'd be ok with it. This is a common modification with racers. As long as there's something of patch panel and a dent attempt at sealing it up ill pass it.i have something similar on my 4th gen.
