After:

Fine job lovely looking scoot respect.

well done, that looks f---ing brill

i preferred the patina look

















only joking Rog, looks lovely

top job rog i love it

I know how much hard labour has gone into that, I had one similar. Great job, it looks the muts.

Thats nice mate, i also liked it unrestored though.

Why no toolbox?

Did you roll new legshield trim on too?

Ah, I knew someone would spot the toolbox! The original one was too far gone to use so I had to get a remade one which like most things remade doesn't fit properly so I'm having to dremel and file it......something I really should have done before it was painted! Hopefully I'll get it sorted this week.

I like the Patina look too, but the frame was in pretty bad shape, much worse than it looks in the pictures, so it had to be done properly really....although I am keeping the Patina look on my Douglas....

Looks fantastic I do like the 150s.. did you stick with the OE motor, is it the piston ported 150?

Top job Rog, though would not fancy going to Austria on it!

I've replaced the engine with a PX125 lump with the following spec:

Pinasco 180cc kit
P200 carb
P200 gearbox
Cosa clutch
Baffless Pitone exhaust

I'm also cheating for this years Euro Vespa and putting it in the back of a van, - I'm not brave enough to ride it all that way 2-up with 2 weeks worth of luggage, I'd just be worrying about tyre blowouts all the way down!

Both look great Rog well done

saw the 150s a little while ago, even better in person.

Super looking - well done Roger
