Vespa barn find makeover Time Lapse Complete restoration and repair.

[@SuperDickhertz]

A most amazing demonstration of skill, integrity, and commitment. He is like a man in love with a beautiful woman whom he wants to honor, respect her beauty, and never let her down or disappoint her. This kind of devotion is rare beyond measure. This was like watching Rembrandt and the other masters create magnificent and timeless art! And no phony facelift (paint job)!

[@GaragediAntonio177]

This was one of the first videos I watched of a vintage Vespa restoration and I was immediately obsessed and wanted one do one myself. Now 2 years later I am working on restoring my own ❤

[@JP212nyc]

das ist m.E. eben genau keine Restaurierung sondern einfach nur ein wirklich extensiver Service, der den Roller wieder auffrischt, ihn aber nicht seiner Seele beraubt. Tolle Arbeit, schön gefilmt!

[@NilsHomann]

Danke!

[@rong.7768]

Klasse das die Patina erhalten wird und nur technisch aufgemöbelt wird. Top Arbeit!

[@sailor5026]

Like the way you did this. Kept the age, made it look nice, and restored functionality. No fake new paint etc.

[@NilsHomann]

Thanx!

[@jasont2074]

Love how they have left the original paint 🎨 , brilliant rebuild

[@harishkamath2474]

There are people who put mud/grease/oil on top of vehicle body to feel like it's untouched for long time then dismantle it clean it and assemble it back. They call it as restoration. On the other hand this guy who tries to keep originality at its best. Hats off ❤️

[@NilsHomann]

Thanks a lot! I have also seen videos where motorcycles were deliberately covered with leaves and branches in the forest to make it appear that they have been there for many years. To then "restore" them.And with the Vespa I had first considered to leave it further in the condition in which I found it to put it so on the dry shelf.

[@bbbbbbb999]

Hat Spaß gemacht sich das anzuschauen.

[@beatbox-0712]

Its very tough to retain the old paint job rather than repainting it on the whole.....great job bro ....love the original body👍

[@neilkennykenny4113]

One of the finest restorations iv seen kept it original, I hate when people change the paint and add piles of new shit on. Weil danke

[@Falconhunter276]

Preservation done at its best. Stunning work.

[@OhHeyFergy]

Lovely work on this! I am just about to begin working on a V90 I bought in 2008, sold, and have purchased back. Great inspiration for me.

[@Croseb2]

This is an amazing project. Thank you for sharing and also providing the list of items used in the renovation.

[@TiredLessGary]

The finish made this build even better!

[@jankilo3682]

Superb, oldschool restoration.

[@dcvilak]

Besser als jeder Liebesfilm. Danke

[@rickguyevans]

Awesome "resto"...a lot of elbow grease and patience goes a long way to make an old girl look like a good-looker again! Great work! Thanks for sharing. From Canada, Rick

[@adeirwansyah1683]

damn.. for 30 years it's really on a good shape.. nice found

[@realitylicker]

Vespas are the two wheeled version of the Mini. simply mechanics with wicked styling and the looks to die for, great video.

[@robbuh1]

If anything they are the two-wheeled version of the FIAT 500.... The BRITISH MINI is wonderful but has nothing in common with a legendary Italian Special Vespa 50

[@realitylicker]

@@robbuh1 You totally miss my point but thats ok.

[@Thiseas32]

@@robbuh1 british????? hahaha......search moreeee!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@adrianfbird]

I’ve just found a PX125 being pushed into a crusher so I saved it and with a little tickle it started after 10 years of not being moved. I haven’t got your skills but I’m putting back on the road with dents and all 🤘🏾 Great video 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@NilsHomann]

The skills will come. Always! And all tasks become less and less time-consuming. And also the time you have to take will be also less and less.

[@tonylapperoni4869]

Liebe deine großartigen Videos! Thx!

[@razeltv4106]

such a talented in restoring vespa

[@andrewbozhozr]

That patina on a paint just gives it soooo much cool looks... At first I was thinking "what, no new paint wtf??" but at the end I'm so glad that it isn't repainted, that would spoile everything. What a wonderful video, so much effort in to making it... Thank you, it was such a nice thing to watch during my covid struggle alone trapped inside...

[@oddbod8655]

Wonderful to watch. Such talent.

[@beakittelscherz5419]

Klasse! Auch die Balance zwischen Reparatur und Restaurierung finde ich gut. Weniger ist hier Mehr! Schade daß der Part fehlt wo das kaputte Stück Leder im Sattel repariert wird ,- das war genau das was ich gerne sehen wollte ... Gute Arbeit! Thumps up!

[@jochenholger777]

[@timkoop9392]

beautiful,loved the no power tools work

[@poptartheroes]

I love that 3 piece rim design. It makes it so much easier to service!

[@MiguelBricaBrac]

You left the patina instead of re-spray. Mechanically sound machine with all its history still intact. Great work.

[@terrysmith7076]

Great Job Thxs for sharing.

Awesome find.

Congrats my friend...Great job!!!!!

[@Joku_vestory]

I love this process

[@georghubert7]

So eine perfekte und detailverliebte Arbeit... zuerst schön anzusehen. ..und dann beginnen die fast körperlichen Schmerzen als sie wieder mit dem 50er - der ja nur der Platzhalter für einen brauchbaren Motor ist - zusammengebaut wird. ..Wie perfekt wäre sie in diesen Händen mit einem 138er...für mich als alten Vespaschrauber aus den 80ern kaum zu ertragen..

[@raghavramdasi6565]

This needs more recognition

[@alexanderb.3798]

Erstklassige Arbeit, tolles Video. Aber 30 J alte Reifen wieder aufziehen? Oder hab ich da was verpasst?

[@ChristianLindmmkroo]

Ist mir auch aufgefallen

[@Felix-fy7ki]

Solange sie nicht rissig/porös sind, wird es für eine 50er reichen. Schräglagen bis zum Aufsetzen fährt man da eher nicht und bei Nässe denke ich wird sie auch nicht bewegt werden, um die offen belassenen Korrosionsstellen nichts wieder zu aktivieren.

[@alexanderb.3798]

@@Felix-fy7ki Ich hab ne alte 50er mit Einzelabnahme zugelassen. Das erste, was der Prüfer bemängelt hat, waren die 32 Jahre alten Schlappen, das hatte ich schlicht übersehen. Und das Fahrverhalten ist mit den neuen um Längen besser/sicherer, die alten wren einfach bockhart

[@Felix-fy7ki]

@@alexanderb.3798 Da brauchen wir nicht drüber zu diskutieren, das sind in dem Alter Holzreifen. Aber der Originalität und dem Profil halber (gibt es glaub' ich nicht mehr) verstehe ich die Wiederverwendung absolut. Ich habe meine erste 50er von 1984 nach, da ist der erste Vorderreifen von der Auslieferung drauf und das bleibt er auch, solange er nicht rissig wird. :-)

[@aghaazhar9048]

Nice work with perfection Always you live Happy Dear.

[@handyman7297]

i just found my vespa px 150E a 1996 that was waiting for me to pick it up one day, now is mine, after many years we found each other and the love just started, i did the same procedure you did and im not going to do any tuning, just want to keep it original as it came from factory

[@cristianodummel316]

Good job, beautiful ❤️

[@burningrider8500]

Gute Arbeit wie immer. Danke fürs sharing Nils. Linke zum Gruß.

Buena restauración conservando la pintura original y la mayoría de las piezas de fábrica. Lista para un museo 👌

[@javajavano7075]

I love original paint✌️

[@ogayrn]

hi I come from Indonesia 🇮🇩 I really like vespa or scooter of the many time lapse challenges that in my opinion are the best taking a video that fits perfectly and is also simple 💯

[@vanwheelsontour]

Tolle Arbeit. Video technisch wie auch am Fahrzeug selbst. Ich hätte sie nur neu lackiert bei dem Aufwand, den du betrieben hast, aber du wolltest sicher den alten rostigen Zustand beibehalten. Hat ja auch was. Gute Fahrt!!

[@widiyanto809]

i really love this video!

[@Danielvanderpoll]

What type of rust paint and polishing treatment are used here ? Also what’s your cleaning solution for body work and engine parts ? many thanks for the great vid !

[@ryanadhani5419]

he rebuild his seat then ended up using another seat, anyway great videos loves it!

[@acawroom79]

I am Vespista also, I loved your work and how you kept the original patina. In my case I did full sandblast and refinish, but still looking decent.

[@NilsHomann]

Nice that you see it that way. Many see it differently. I have already disassembled many Vespa scooters. But most of them did not need it. I regret that today. This Vespa never even came close to a thought of stripping it. It is in wonderful original condition.

[@acawroom79]

@@NilsHomann In my case it was needed. Bodywork was reasonably OK, paint was kinda ugly and not red metallic, so I had to do it. It is way nicer now :)

[@ogayrn]

hi I come from Indonesia 🇮🇩 In my country it is usually called Vespa PTS small frame, well with its small and slender shape, many people are interested in having it, but unfortunately now it's not easy to have PTS Vespa because it has become a rare item to get I really like vespa or scooter of the many videos about time lapse barn find in my opinion is the best taking a video that fits perfectly and is also simple

Great job

[@bobkay2458]

Awesome restoration mate! With times moving faster, younger people are forgetting the past! Keep up the great work, long may it continue to restoring past classic beauties - Greetings from Oz 🦘🌏🇦🇺✌️

[@lisaw150]

Speaking as a younger person... i would kill for that Vespa! (Many young people I know would.) Sadly, since it's my only means of transportation, I had to opt for a modern Vespa, but might add a classic one sooner rather than later :)

[@scadz7359]

Absolutely georgous!!!

[@weluvpixma8175]

Masterpiece, amazing......

[@pedrogmiller]

Hello. What did you use for the rust? Thanks for sharing!

[@NilsHomann]

it is called Fertan

[@wayning]

Tolle restauration!! Ich finde der Vespa steht der Lack sehr gut ! :-)

[@motivation.limited]

what did you use to cover up rusty areas? that brown liquid, what is that?

[@ekfreeindian]

History Reconditioned... Great job man... Love from India 👍👍

[@piodambrosio1427]

vederla smontare pezzo per pezzo si vede che questa vespina era un capolavoro di meccanica! Ecco svelato il segreto di tanto successo! Va bè la linea iconica; l'eleganza delle forme! ma la sostanza, sopratutto nella cura dei paricolari era proprio tanta!

[@NilsHomann]

Sì. Trovare la stabilità e l'eleganza nel semplice. I costruttori lo facevano bene all'epoca.

[@tonylapperoni4869]

Wunderschön ❤

[@luigibertapelle7405]

Hi I'm luigi from Italy, i have one similar vespa, one question, what did you use to protect the oxidized parts of the car body? and what products did you use to polish the paint? Please let me know, Ciao Luigi

[@NilsHomann]

Fertan

[@lazaromanalo6968]

Wonderful!!!

[@alessiogrisoni9249]

What did you put on the rust spots?

[@robertosahonero7984]

Hermoso el trabajo que realizan, gracias por mostrarlo

[@user-oe5yc8ou9w]

Did you have to take it apart to wash it?

[@ivanraz]

Everything is awesome! In my opinion, i will change the tires.....30 years + old.... are not exactly safe to ride :). It's just my opinion. Awesome work!

[@JiriZatopek]

Hey! congrats to the project! What product precisely did you apply to the painted parts? THere was white and pink-ish cream +something to convserve the naked parts. but what was it precisely?

[@NilsHomann]

The paint cleaner is from a company called "RED WHITE - ROT WEIS". I think it is a German company. And the pollitures are from 3M.

[@sstorholm]

What process did you use to stop the rust? I have a PX125 I’m restoring and would like to do something to mine!

[@robertovavassori4274]

Great job! Many congratulations 👍

[@NilsHomann]

Thanx !!!

[@wiesenkutter4357]

Imo ist not a restauration but a conservation. But this vintage look is also a lot of work. What kind of glue is used to fix the "fin" over the front wheel? Something like sika flex?

[@NilsHomann]

The adhesive is bodywork adhesive. I always use this when I want to preserve original parts. It always takes 24 hours to cure. But then it sticks super. I have just checked. Unfortunately, there is no company name on the cartridge.

[@adiyudawardana]

what a treasure..👍🏻👍🏻

[@lg5813]

Mio padre aveva la stessa vespa!!! L'unica differenza è il fanale, che era tondo. Ma anche il colore era uguale! Mi veniva a prendere a scuola nel centro storico di Roma! Tutti i miei amici restavano a bocca aperta!
