Very few goes to that nuts and bolts during restoring old vespàs. Also getting parts is nearly impossible nearby me. Incredible job guys.

[@Shiroyasha89]

non so che tipo di pezzi cerchi, però se guardi su Ebay o siti italiani di pezzi per la vespa ce ne sono a valanghe, invece se cerchi pezzi elaborati per farla andare forte ti consiglio la Polini marchio Italiano

[@acceleratefaster46]

@@Shiroyasha89 Vengo dall'India, amico. Di solito trovo i pezzi ma è difficile trovarli facilmente, i pezzi importanti come le sospensioni/il carburatore sono molto difficili. abbiamo eBay ma non è molto popolare nel mio paese.

Amazing work, only critic from my view: Dont show the finished product at the start or in the middle, for me (!) it always kills a bit the excitement. I love imagining how its gonna turn out and i love seeing if i think similar as the one doing the project. Seeing it too early is like a spoiler. Stay safe!

good job, but good lord move faster, the slow motion action from people putting on and taking off parts was a real snooze fest, do things at normal speed, you don't need all those stupid glamour slow motion shots, it takes away from the actual restoration!
