Re: Lambretta Special


Today i started on the fork links again just getting powder coat off the threads...

Image
Image

Also cleared a few on the head-set bottom ...

Image

Right back to the leg shields emoticon
Image
Image
Still a fair bit of elbow grease on the insides,,,,

Image
Image

Whilst the outsides are coming on a treat emoticon going to put a few more hours in the week on them should be very close to end of prep by then....

Re: Lambretta Special


Well its been freezing all week so no actual Building But at last i got a very decent headset emoticon
Image
Image
Image
Very reasonable price aswell emoticon ..

Also a few more powder coated bits rear hub, toolbox door..

Image
Image
Image
So progress so far is ahead. All things are coming together nicely.

also my aim with this scooter is to put it together as cheaply as possible it wont be no show winner but it will be ridden almost daily in all weathers,thats why ive gone for the powdercoat over paint, emoticon
