This is a clear reason to store your bike properly. Not only will it help insure years of trouble free riding but it will also save you $$ in the long run.
The inside of the tank looks great except for the bottom where water rested and wrecked havoc on the metal. The tank was sand blasted to expose the damage from rust and provide a good holding point for the repair metal.

| Nice surprise under the paint this was the worst of both sides. |

| Some heat and a quick hand the holes are covered |

The tank was pressure tested to 5-7 psi and showed that all of the holes were sealed. Being careful not to exceed 7psi or you could rupture the tank.
Now primer and some paint and it will be good to go.
This tank is going on a dirt bike so esthetically finishing it is not very important.
If you wanted to finish it up you could sand it how ever you wanted to smooth it out taking care that you do not make the patches too thin.
Thanks to Victoria Motorcycle sales for the education on fixing tanks this way.
