I finally got the tank finished, 80L capacity. It didn't come out to bad, it's been quite a while sence my last aluminium welding job.

Starting it for the first time was relatively easy, once I had all the plugs connected. Not knowing what I had purchased (it terms of engine quality) made this monent a little nerve racking. Hence, I was very relieved when it started firing on all eight cylinders. It runs like an absolute gem, with only 27500km on the clock it has done very little work. 

This coming week I will be getting it ready for my first test drive, this will, indeed be interesting.
