I just got a pristine sx, orig owner, garage kept and essentially lickable.

Tank has perfect stickers and looked great upon first look.

Got it home and there were tons of teeny tiny pain bubbles in the paint on the bottom.

Every single one was a rust hole and ground out to a hole you could stick 4 fingers in.
in order to get it all to bare metal.

I guess he drained it and left it empty for a few years and it cycled hot and cold enough
to keep it sweaty inside and it died.

Sure looked pretty tho. and sure fooled me.

so I found a partially disassembled sx with a good tank and plastics for 100.

Cleaned the tank with a pressure washer inside, dried it,
poured in a little gas, it didn't leak so I just filled it and plan on keeping it full
so it can't rust anymore.
