1980's Italian Vespa Restoration - Bare Metal Finish

The full body and engine rebuild on a #piaggio #vespa PK 50 from 1986. This nut and bolt #restoration will have the look of a DMC DeLorean from Back To The Future due to the bare metal to clear coat finish.

What are your thoughts on the end result? And What kind of build should be next? Please let me know down below

[@kz6fittycent]

Great video man! Next build: RD/RZ350 or a GT500?

[@corner.custom]

@@kz6fittycent Thanks man! Good candidates! But I'm wanting to do a bike with a little bit more CC this time, a little bit heavier 💪

[@victorhawkins3461]

As someone who proudly owned a Vespa ET2 50cc, I thought the build -- at first -- was a bit over the top for a mere 50cc. But, damn, she is one truly fine scoot! Great, great job!

[@corner.custom]

Thanks 👍🏼 I still have second thoughts on keeping it a 50cc, little bit more power would be cool 😎

[@gewasse]

Beautiful restoration! 😍

[@corner.custom]

Thanks!

[@Cochise6-6-6]

Beautiful build brother, love your dedication and craftsmanship.

[@corner.custom]

Thanks, always great to hear!

[@broderickmiller4241]

Nice restoration! It would be great if you can make a video showing the before and after and any performance gains from the improved engine.

[@corner.custom]

Thanks!! I'll post some more content on my Instagram page, Corner.Custom. There aren't really noticeable power gains, but it's running way better. Before it would hardly run idle and get up to RPM, that's the main improvement

Wat n werk, erg mooi geworden en knap gedaan 👌

[@corner.custom]

Bedankt 👍🏼

[@williamllorens2141]

Beautiful work ❤❤❤

Thanks man 👌🏼👍🏼

Lovely restoration mate

[@corner.custom]

Haha looks who's there 😁🤌🏼👍🏼

[@pgiannikos]

this period i am trying to restore a pk 50 ss and i am trying to achieve the same result exactly! nice... the only difference is the products you use. very nice idea and very nice restoration! wanna se more pics

[@corner.custom]

Thanks. Unfortunately it's already starting to rust underneath the clearcoat. I'm thinking about stripped the body back to the metal again and go for a bright color. Not sure on that though 🤔

[@pgiannikos]

@@corner.custom wow.... is there any other option like a clear primer? or epoxy primer with no colour? maybe the rust stabilization varnish you use underneath the frame could do the job.... and after this one aply the clear laquer... maybe this could work

[@corner.custom]

@pgiannikos I searched for it and couldn't really find an alternative. The only other option I can think of it spray it in with WD40 and maintain it

[@guilahernandez5577]

Great job!👌👌

[@corner.custom]

Thanks!

[@DoekeFaber]

Nice work! 🔥

[@corner.custom]

Bedankt Doeke 👊🏼👍🏼

[@demetrioskondylas8631]

howdy! what air pressure did u use on the gun when you did the paint?

[@corner.custom]

Around 20 PSI

[@tomvoxx4082]

Nice restoration.

[@corner.custom]

Thanks man💪🏼👍🏼

[@jonyanyuen]

Italian made two stroke Vespa, which year had electric start?

[@corner.custom]

Good question bud. Honestly I don't know, I'm not that deep into the whole Vespa thing

[@spinkygr]

Just out of curiosity. Where did you find that Greek license plate "HKI-7580" because as I recall it belongs to a red Suzuki Jimny

[@corner.custom]

Oh wow serious?! Bought it on a local market during holiday. How do you this?

[@timcolijn9831]

Echt prachtig, heb zelf uit Spanje een 125 pk 125s gekocht vorig jaar. Zitten best wel wat dingen op en aan waar ik wat aan kan doen, waar heb jij de meeste onderdelen vandaan?

[@corner.custom]

125! Dat klinkt goed 👌🏼 Zeg niet dat ik spijt heb om de 50cc op te knappen, maar verlangen wordt wel steeds groter naar meer power. Heb alle onderdelen bij De Klassieke Vespa fabriek vandaan. Goede service, top gasten!

[@timcolijn9831]

Thanks voor je reactie! Ik heb nu eea besteld Sip scootershop. Ik ga hem van de week uit elkaar halen, ik ga voor donkergroen, hij is nu oranje maar ik denk wel overgespoten ooit. er zit geen roest aan, maar al met al toch wel aardig werk. Wat een werk heb je gehad en dan ook nog alles filmen. @@corner.custom

[@TheBurriagas]

Awesome man!!!

[@corner.custom]

Thanks 🤟🏼🤟🏼

[@ryszardmetrak2390]

Gorgeous build ! Your works is fantastic. Maybe Honda African Twin next or Honda cbr 600 made into scrambler (could be cool) ? :)

[@corner.custom]

Appreciated man. I'm looking forward to get my hands on something bigger for sure, especially after the little Vespa 😅

[@oleksandr50special]

Great job! But not without questionable moments.

[@corner.custom]

Tell me, I'm all ears. What's the problem

[@hnguyen8385]

How do you open the side panels. Just bought one and can’t figure how to open the panels😢

[@corner.custom]

Haha I feel you man, I had the same struggle. Underneat the seat you'll find on both sides of the fuel tank a plug that need to be pulled up. Then you can open the side panels

[@delaereveronique6132]

Merci de partager tes sensations fais attention à ton dos gros bisous 😘

[@corner.custom]

You're welcome 👍🏼

Uhh volgend project BMW R75 met n Seip zijspan 😎

[@corner.custom]

Geloof dat ik dan eerst de loterij moet winnen 🤑😅

[@ZM4-978]

@@corner.custom aaah, je maakt wel hele mooie projecten, top 👍

[@corner.custom]

Bedankt! Zal wel weer een BMW worden voor een nieuw project 😁🤟🏼

[@Aikaramba12]

Brunox is trash, i would just go for a regular 2k epoxy primer

[@corner.custom]

Thanks for the heads up 👍🏼👌🏼

[@Aikaramba12]

@@corner.custom no problem :) the 2k stuff is a lot better imo.

[@corner.custom]

@Aikaramba12 yes sure is. Normally I don't worry with 1k stuff, but this I had laying around. Eventough with the 2k clearcoat it already started rusting underneath it 😟

[@Soulman-lb3gg]

You started with a pristine Vespa. There was no need for a rebuild or "restoration." Rebuild a Vespa that's been I'm a barn for 40 years.

[@corner.custom]

Pristine Vespa? Well far from that TBH, loads of bondo, bad running engine, paint flaking off etc
