If needs be I'll go out and take a photograph as opposed to a screenshot from a video. Anyway, although I've been keeping an eye online for an auction for a "new", dent-free tank to come up, I've been curious as to what sort of ££ I'd be spending to get the dent in this one repaired. My guess is around £100+ as it's impact damage?

I had a "new" tank lined up from a friend for £60 but he bailed on me. I also missed out on an ebay auction where a dent free tank went for around £50 (£80 including postage).

You'd be looking at the worlds supply of filler with that. There's some heavy scraping, is it even fuel-tight?

Baglux cover FTW.

That's fucked. SV tanks are as common as autism. Get another one.

Yeah haha I'll just get another one.

Apparently it is fuel tight, it didn't blow up when it hit the curb to that's always a plus Embarassed

Yeah I will definitely look into getting a cover!
