Would be good to see them if not no worries ! I've acquired another small door 90 ultimately for spares did have a crazy idea or brining it back to life but the floor is shot to pieces and that's before shot blasting just wondering if yours was had bad ,when I took it save he did say he's seen worse but I'm not sure there's going to be much left after blasting !
I won't hijack your post with my scoot and I might start a thread it's a goer.

Well, he cut out the entire floor and also repaired a large section of the legshield and area behind the numberplate at the back. Basically as long as the main tunnel isn't damaged Dave can sort it.

That's looking superb young Sir. Nit picking here and only my taste but I'd also do the rims anthracite and also the link cover is in the reverse position.  |

Haha, oops  The link cover is a pile of shite, poor quality metal, doesn't fit at all and it's about 1cm shallower than the original link so the tabs are useless. I only stuck it on for the photo - I actually have the original, which I might rub down, spray and see how it looks. I did think about doing the rims, too; the hub I want to keep as alu though so wondered if it'll look too 'stripey'? Basically my thinking on the two-tone silver was to echo the two tones of the shock. |

oh and the cable route on your front brake looks wrong...it should go round/through the bolt and then hook back into the little hook thing on the cable guide

That looks fantasic JD! What colour is that? Is it an original Vespa colour?
I should really read through the whole thread before asking that I suppose. It's been a while.

OK, I just read the whole thread (at work, so getting paid for it) so now I know.
Bit late now, but didn't you fancy 'classic' style badges? Obviously you didn't!

Do you mean the front badge, Andy? It originally had the script badge, but I prefer the look of the 'block' font badge - and as the first of those came out in 1974 and this is a 1975 registered scoot I didn't think it'd be too much of a faux pas to go with it. Thanks for the comments btw |
