Beauty and the beast!

[sweetpea]

Hi All,

Acquired the Primmy about 8 - 9 years ago in the most unbelievable bad shape... it was rotting at the back of a garage with a leaky roof!

Anyway..... thought i could do something with it, and set about stripping it down... these are the bits that i recovered from the original scoot





Anyway... after a visit to the bead blaster and a bit of TLC... i got it down to bare metal before getting the paint done



Several years later.... i finally got the urge to get something done with the old girl and started the rebuild..... engine sent away for rebuild whilst i cracked on with the rest.... all new wiring loom, cables, bolts, screws etc etc

This is now the result..... 99% there after only just managing to source a toolbox panel door which was lost by my painter during it's respray!

Let me know your thoughts........ i'd be interested

Engine sounds lovely itching now to get it on the road for summer!

Nice. I've got a set of silver ET3 stripes here that'd set that off a treat if you're intrested.

BTW, you do realise the front tyre is on in the wrong direction I presume?

Thanks Juan..... ... sorry i hadn't realised..... the wheel was just put on whilst i took pics... i still have to fit some new front shoes so will change it then! ;D

BTW the stripes sound nice.. but it is not an ET3 model.. so will pass on those as i want to keep it as original as poss.. but thanks anyway

Hi Rob,

Totally standard mate.... bit boring i know but as i said, just wanted to keep it original. May run it for a bit, see how things go before considering other options.
