Hahahaha this tank doesn't need a panelbeater/ painter.

It needs a Priest (to give it the Last Rites).

Aren't there some real 'optimists' on E Bay?

It'll end up in the Tate Modern with a 5 figure price tag.  Not much use as a petrol tank.

Is that what can be expected when it's described as "good used condition "?

There was a Suzuki GT750 Rear Light assembly on a 'junk' stand at Stafford on Saturday. I looked at it (from a distance) and chuckled at the extensive amount of rust on it.......serious rust on a part that just cannot be overcome, saved, salvaged or ever used again.

Why transport a load of junk to a show and then transport it home again after.....when every UK Town has a Tip!

Now't so queer as folk.
