The body work is all back on it does look good if i do say so myself,thanks for the compliments ,im still bricking it to put fuel in the tank one last check with a endoscope first,
when i got it it had a failed liner in it I gave it to cupar bike paints to sort if out so I could drive it for the summer,they found 3 failed liners all different types but absolutely no rust anywhere! It is a US import so maybe a precaution for their crap fuel ? Ill see if i can post pictures from inside the tank.

While checking with the camera it looks to me like there has been a patch possible puncture still no rust yet .what to do I don’t like liners as they eventually fail 
i had originally booked in for bike paints to paint the bike they were going to line the tank for me unfortunately they closed shop and I forgot about the liner.

I worked in a body shop when I was a young man. I'm grateful that I got out. You do wonderful work. I know how much work that was and appreciate you.

Also what crap fuel? I can buy non-ethenal at 4 different stations all within blocks of my house. The tanks are new and the fuel is tested monthly to make sure no corn gas goes in.

Non-ethenal is illegal where I live.  "Premium" is only 91 also.  So, in summary: crap fuel.
