Sounds like a good project mate. Get some photos up of your progress if you can.
There are loads of people here with sound knowledge to help you through any problems you get. Good luck with it.

Good luck with the project, nothing a sand blasting and some welding won't cure on that bike!  Notice you have two holes up high and two holes low on the legshield, do you know what has been mounted here? Luggage rack? |

Great looking project, are you sure it needs blasting, I'd thought a spot of T-cut would have sorted it out no problem ;D BTW I have the same holes on my PK project, I just assumed they were manufactured that way. ;D |

probably from some from crashbars. top ones quite wide apart so may have had bars from lammie or lardy vespa.  Classic 80s paint job, but the mudguard and leggies look quite undamamaged. |

 Unusual exhaust that, I've seen those types on various lardies before but never on a smally. |
