Hi all, It´s time to rebuild my Vespa Primavera, it´s in very poor condition, very rusty, but I will like to restore and tune up. Not sure about the final engine config, I´m doubting with Quattrini M1 D60 or M1L 56. But started the project because a tons of work......... The bike Disassembling:

looking at the floor, you have some work to do on that. I'm going to replace the legshield, the floor is absolutely unrecoverable. Time to start with my favorite part, the engine, again the first step is to clean tons of dirt over years: Ohhh guys very hard to clean!!!!! decent to start working on it:

I´m doubting with Quattrini M1 D60 or M1L 56. Hi, good project. Have you thought about the M1L60 just to keep the lamellare theme?

I´m doubting with Quattrini M1 D60 or M1L 56. Hi, good project. Have you thought about the M1L60 just to keep the lamellare theme? Hi Max, The answer is Yes, but I don´t like to bore the cases, I`m looking to build a Road engine with good relibiality. Spinning about the matter I finally decided the final config for the engine: Cylinder: M1 D60 Cranckshaft: Falc Racing Ignition: Vespatronic 1.6kg Intake: Falc Reed valve Carb: Dellorto 28VHST Exhaust: Not sure yet Clutch: Quattrini M2-4 Primary: 27-69 DRT Cluster: DRT Z10-14-18-20 Gearbox: Piaggo OEM shimmed Still "lamellare" what do you think? ?? More Pics: Removing silent blocks: Cases cleaned and ready to start milling: Need some welding job:

Strange place for a rust hole, has it been stored upside down?
Nothing that can't be fixed, you look like you've got it all under control.m keep up the good work.

floors a bit "frilly" but you planned to replace that anyway didn't you , those holes around seat base are going to be "fun/interesting" to tackle . I think I'd carve up a hardwood block to right profile to beat a repair panel over , unless ya go "rat-road" an plate from behind ,H
