Seriously Otto, you're going to bust my balls for repurposing an overflow tank? Just kidding. Actually, it was from the old motorhome that I used the chassis from. When I went for the first drive and got back the blowoff hose from the radiator was dripping a little, so I needed to catch any blowoff. I started looking for a recovery tank online but didn't see any that I loved but then I remembered I had saved the one form the motorhome for some unknown reason. But I have to agree I could have put a little effort into cleaning it up before I installed it.

After the first drive as, you can see by the video I live on a gravel road and everything got very dusty. It was time to start the final clean-up. First, I started with the paint I spent a long day wet sanding followed by two long days polishing. Then on to the interior. At lease that only took a few hours.

Next step loading the car. Sorry I need to figure out how to post videos.
