Hello Eibert and welcome to the SRX community.
Your bike looks like being in pretty good shape as far as pics can tell.
The gas tank: it looks like having been soldered or weld at the lowest point. My concern about this is that these tanks become leaky from the inside due to water accumulation over time. Before wasting money on new paint, you should take a very close look at the inside of the tank (endoscope), erasing any rust from it and -if required- replacing all sections showing thinning of the sheet metal. Otherwise, you will have the very same problem before long.
The fuel petcock: not installed yet?
The seat: very nice!
Don't hesitate to ask questions, if you have any not talked about yet in this forum.
