Vespa P200E restoration Part 14

Front suspension, steering and headset.
Back in the mid to late 80’s, I was the proud owner of a Vespa P200E which I rattle-can resprayed in a typically 80’s brash colour scheme. For over 30 years, it’s been stuck in a shed, gathering dust and rust.
Can a clueless, inexperienced mechanic bring this beauty back to life?
Many books read, countless videos watched and numerous forums trawled through. There will be mistakes, there will be cock-ups, there will be scraped knuckles, there will be tears BUT there will some serious fun along the way.
This is NOT an instructional video, quite the opposite 😁

I'll bet you I'll be as thrilled as you'll be once you get this scoot together! Great job! I just brought home an ET2 50cc I owned 7 years ago. The "interim" owner took crap care of her, so I've rescued her and want to bring her back. Not sure if I'll do any of it, or if I'll just hand it over to my mechanic. Either way, I'll be tickled to have her back on the road this fall!

Love all of your videos, you're doing a great job The only question I have is why you always use a rubber mallet instead of a hammer

[@davetroman5527]

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 😁

Hi Dave, I noticed you have an inverter in your shed, could you do a video on your set up? Great idea for some remote power.

[@davetroman5527]

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