Thanks. Your wish is my command kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4fWqaGwa5Zsbtk 👌

Thanks. I know what you mean about the music but I'm stuck with the copyright free stuff available on KZbin 🤷

Thanks. Certainly very different mechanics in the engine and front suspension. Getting my head round it now.

Been binge watching both those channels, thanks.

Another journey 😁

Yep 😁

Sorry, not quite sure what you mean....?

Cheers. Appreciate your company and support along the way. Hope the ET2 works out.

Thanks. Give or take a few quid, it's cost about £2000. That doesn't include tools, but I'll use those again. Does include all the paint, etc. Well worth it 😁

Cheers. For me, the mechanics were easier than the frame/bodywork. Good luck.

Cheers. Really loved doing this and especially trying new skills (some better than others 😁). The next project is even more exciting, just brought it and it's sitting in the workshop ready for the next restoration series. Watch this space 🛵 Hope your upgrade work well.

I get really cold hands (Raynaud's) so always carry some surgical gloves that I can put over normal running gloves. They are 100% water and wind proof but weigh next to nothing. You can buy 50 pairs for about £6 on eBay. Every jacket pocket and every pack has at least two pairs in.

Such a simple but effective solution Dave!

Thanks. Although it looks grim at times, we were never cold, even with just lightweight running jackets. Obviously, we carried much warmer clothing but didn't need it. The snow was more unusual. We'd expected maybe some patches of snow left from the winter but there was a big snow dump just a few days before we set off, giving us all that extra snow. If I was going to do it again, I'd probably aim for early September. The trails and huts are rammed during July and August, but will ease off a little in September. Hope you get the chance to complete the route.

Definitely will be doing that. Got a couple of other videos before that though.

Cheers - always learning 😁

Couldn't have done it without this "How to Restore Classic Largeframe Vespa Scooters".

It's from the KZbin copyright free music library, called At the Game.

Spoiler alert..... There's an issue with the engine I need to sort, annoying but not major 😒

@@davetroman5527 Waiting for the sort-out video! 🤓🛵🛵

Everything crossed 🤞🤞🤞

That's a good idea, I'll get round to it 👍

Thanks. The buffing tool was a very cheap on from eBay, something like this www.ebay.co.uk/itm/145000369042

Thanks. The rubber mallet is just closer to hand, while my hammer in in a tool box. No special reason, it's just easier when I'm lazy 😁

Hope the rescue goes well 👌

I had ZERO knowledge at the start of this project. The best place to start is the book "How to restore classic Largeframe Vespa scooters".

Thanks. Slowly getting there.

Best of luck with your restoration. I've been using Maxima Waterproof Grease.
