Where to buy 91 MR2 fuel tank?

Dealership wants almost 800 bucks for a new one. I have a project car and the only one I have on hand is one that sat for 2 years with fuel in it. It's extremely dirty/rusty and I'd rather just replace it.

Thanks.

Haha, maybe.

This is our fault. We bought a 91 MR2 with a 5SFE and pulled a 540hp 3SGTE from a 93 NA. The 93 was crashed but had a good tank. We scrapped the body without thinking about it. The 91 had sat for a few years and the tank is probably garbage. :/

When the car is finished I'll post some pics. It's boosted 26 pounds at the moment. Tried to start it and the fuel pump went so we're waiting on a walbro 255lph pump.

Here's a teaser of the ridiculously aggressive wheel set:

I just looked at some racing fuel sells, they're well over $1K..
Scratch that idea.
You could try a salvage yard, but probably have the same problem from it.
Hose it out real good, make sure it's dry and cut it in half. Remove the rust, coat it and weld it back together.?

Looks like a +23 offset?

It's mostly my brother working on this thing. He says it's "18x8.5+36 with a 5mm spacer and crash bolts"

We did remove the tank and they have determined it's beyond repair. Cutting it and welding is an option, but only if we can't find anything else cheaper. I found one on trademotion for 450ish, but I think it's used.
