DIY VROD airbox repair

by Editor on 04/18/22

I'll be the first to admit I have zero experience in bodywork....
I've been using this damaged airbox for a few years to mount my camera bag to it cause I didn't care if it got scratched. It's from a bike I parted out that was in an accident. The handlebar and signal light caused a large dent about 1 inch deep at the worst spot during the crash.
Not sure what possessed me to do this today but I cut a window into the inner skin and started massaging it. I don't have any bodywork tools so I improvised with a rubber hammer, a piece of radiator hose, then a BFH and a little swearing...
Got it fairly flush to finish off with a minimal amount of body filler that I'll pick up this week. 
*Don't follow me for bodywork tips...LOL
