No, it's far gone. However, if you find a second one that is damaged you can make 1 IC out of the two. Takes lots of work, cutting & welding.. Don't trow away your IC, it's a good candidate for a large IC setup (2 stock IC into 1, well 1 +2/3 of this one).

Hi John, so it doesn't have any value at all?

You can slavage the end tanks if needed. The undamaged core can be used to build a large IC (by combining a second IC and building custom tanks).

I was going to put for sale on ebay for $ 75.00 is that too much? Cost me $ 525.00 plus the core.

Ehall - Lart is also an artist. Usually he works in cacabaca but I'm sure he wouldn't mind changing his medium to aluminum for this one.
