first inspection
Our first good look at this twisted and rusted piece of 70's memorabilia showed that there were a lot of bits to replace. Pretty much the whole damm thing would need to be stripped, and what wasnt binned would need to be hammered back into shape.

The only highlight of the evening was a spin around the street to test out the gearbox and engine which surprisingly started and performed ok. After that, I pulled a 4 hour strip session whereby I took out the rear end, and disconnected most of the easily accessable bits. It appeared that the scoot was originally red, and then it had a half hearted paint job to turn it white, and then it had a backyard bodge job to turn it red again.

The condition was no huge surprise, but I was a bit pissed. At least it would be done well, and the way i wanted it... and it had a trapezoid headlight!
