    oli85 hi adrian, wow sounds like your all over it to be fair, ive never done anything like this before, im not too bad with the basics on a car engine....so hoping there fairly similar.
    putting a new engine into a classic frame was an idea i had, just to add a bit of reliability to it.
    Have you had much to do with the vespa T5's? 
    Would you say the amount you spent would be average in a re-build?

      Re: Re:build
      I would have done my rebuild a lot, lot cheaper!
      In my case it was never the MO; just got divorced, had money to blow and wanted a bonding project with my dad who had a TV 175 back-in-the-day!...  more

      adrian Hi again; think my mesage got cut-off.
      About the paint job; this is the icing on the cake and the whole 'essence' of a scoot I think. I wouldn't go 'powder coating' on wheels or anywhere you want a 'show stopper' (in my humble opinion).

    oli85 Just thought I'd say hi to everyone, I'm a new member and looking for some advice as to buying a scooter I can re-build. Could anyone point me in the right direction as to what model/year would be best? Thanks again and I look forward to hearing from you ...  more

      adrian Hi Oli.
      Just completed a 1965 series 3 complete strip and rebuild so speaking from experience, you can't go wrong with a series 2 or 3 Lambretta as there are so many good companies out there who can provide parts, service and advice.
      if I could do it all again; what would I change?
      If I wanted pure reliability; probably put a modern engine in an old Vespa frame; but I am happy with my totally Italian, beautiful but leaky and un-reliable Li 125 Special....  more

    DorsetT5 Hi, I am clearing out an old workshop that has been used for car repairs in the past. I found a 4 boxed new, old stock perspex screens, they look like they are 60s vintage. One says Lambretta Li 150 and a load of other models and has some brackets wrapped...  more

      adrian Hi Dorset T5.
      Sounds good; I've got a 1965 Li125 Special that might look good with a screen. How much are you looking for mate?
      Thanks.
      Adrian.

      DorsetT5 I had my side panels powder coated. The colours were on a colour chart, some of them are called RAL colours which are a kind of standard colour set. Spray paint suppliers have sets of chips in different colour so you can hold them next to the Scoot and pi...  more
