Default 88 Gsxr1100 airbox

Just to show none of us were instantly good at any of this.
So over ten years ago I bought a kemppi 250 mastertig cause I wanted to get into all sorts of alloy welding mainly bikes, even though I'm an autobody repairer I'm actually a bike nut, cars are what I make a living from motorcycles are my little passion.
The bike has a 1340 bore kit carillo rods ,tighe cams ,pipemaster exhaust,formula 1 silenser with a 90mm baffle and 38mm flatslides
The carbs ment loss of stock airbox and was using k&n's but needed constant cleaning so decided to build an airbox for it
Here's my first attempt at aluminium welding back then

Now it had to have an unseen top that goes in the tank cavity with the unifilter stack on it, had to be built in two bits to assemble it in there.

Then made a hole in the bottom piece
