Yamaha XT 500 fuel tank repair. 

We took on the restoration of a crashed XT500. One of the features of the iconic XT was the tank which had massive dents caused by the prang. Initially, it looked like a complete write-off. We tried compressed air and levers but the tank was too far gone. So we took an angle grinder to it and removed the dented section. Using an English wheel, we managed to smooth out the dents and weld the section back into place. After smoothing off the welds, the tank was repainted with its decals. We are pleased with the results - especially as the original tank is now restored.
