did a 2 sedan. got a 4 coupe to do early next year. but camo is best purchased off ebay or ali express. a wax a grease cleaner will be good to clean before spraying them. with little bits ive sprayed before hand like door handles and arm wrest pays to heat the can and the subject up 1st make it get a good coating and also dries really well. also found vht the better vinyl dye (paint) presuming the doors are press welded with patterns be the easier way to paint them and cover them again. edit or if you really want black ones sell the white ones and buy these cards https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/mazda/interior/listing-1852444192.htm some vinyl and cover them black. or get the pattern you want on them stitch to vinyl through a layer of foam and then put them on the new cards. always found the vht and other vinyl dyes wear off on common places of use eg holding the door open with your foot, tops of doors and around winders where been covered in black vinyl you wont have wear problems.

Fuck yeah. came back for lunch today and put my accelerator cable on and found the nuts for the exhaust so put that on. Then filled it full of water and chucked some new plugs in it. so happy to have it brapping again. need to sort a water temp sender and a reader as my one is reading the block temp and not the engine. and will again re do the radiator a bit better and get it tuned.

By by valiant. you shull be missed

Fuck yeah. chur to @Geophy for lending his hands with my jack. made the job a bunch easier.

Jesus this bmw is crazy cool

i spent a bunch of time last night searching around and around for my bloody starter motor. found it under something under something else........ done alterations around the shop and cleaned up left right and center so as per norm my parts just get put where ever they go. had to file the bush a little bit as it seemed tight but hopefully slap it back together and make it one today as i have all the correct bolts and everything else now

I done some work on it finally Been lazy and finally sorted out the Bush in it so I can put the rotary back in it. If I remember I'll bring my axel stands in on Monday and continue to do some work on it.

@Urbankiwi this just popped up on my news feed. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1484311775128761/permalink/2477331875826741/?sale_post_id=2477331875826741

Man this clocked my day coming across this build. Such a great stance and style. Excited to see the end result.

Thank you very much. New exhuast is good. But I managed to get a ride home in a chevy truck this afternoon. Vespa must be running same stuff oldschool.co.nz is running. Just stopped working. Used my tool kit and tried everything I could on the side of the road. Dan you reliable scooter not been reliable.

@Archetype i found your drink.....

sign me up. when is this happening?!

So I posted a little while back regarding exhaust on the vespa club page. Got a bunch of responses and the common one was to get a sip road. A guy also posted this link regarding a review of other exhaust and comparison. Found it quite interesting https://scooterlab.uk/vespa-big-box-exhaust-shootout-feature-2/?fbclid=IwAR12o3Kmr2bxp5JaoSpj0EfhnxKKFJz7PgaaZsDmqMMvfWDeyVXkw4aUobI the short of it is this. pretty sweet and easy to compare types and what not. retro scooter stock the SIP Road 2 in Auckland and i am going there tomorrow with @Geophy to drop a car off so i may end up getting one. although nz scootercarer can get a polini one. HHHHNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Sign me up.

i think that was @slacker.cam or @peteretep that put the chips in the back

so i went on a bit of a ride over the weekend.... started with meeting @Zeubin at bp nga. next stop this big bottle waihi beach on our way to the mt there was a huge traffic jam and would have passed an easy 200 cars. thank god for small bikes had a beer with the qcr boys at the mt and then rode out to meet @HighLUX at his place we boosted from his up the back across a paper road and then he broke down, then he broke down again. the following day wast east cape day 1st day of east cape going through some fords i also stopped off and payed my respect to @Shakotoms corner got this sweet photo on my way down the last part of the motu road from here i missed the rock slide and assisted other people. but i then went for a swim and stood underneath a water fall so incredibly cool under it got a photo next to it also got one of @mark105 skip a few other cool photos and we made it to gizzy, stocked up on booze and head up the hill @chris r made an appearance after this. also @Archetype check out how flat your tire is here fun fact smash palace in gizzy has a plane in it got rather drank there and scooted home. next morning meet up point was wet again. then we had a car crash that blocked the road so couldn't go much from there. so i went for a little ride and found some sweet hill and a goat track we gave up waiting for the main road to open so took a back road @Truenotch getting in on this sweet photo me giving a helpful hand to @Chris.QCR then we hooned on back i stopped a few more times than everyone else and got some scenic photos patted some pigs and gave them some scratches then head to our accommodation at hicks bay and walked down the "short" track to the batch. dried out my shoes while getting toast. 3am i got to bed and back up around 630 ish as the light was way to bright. off to the light house i go even walked up the hill and took a photo up there i got this photo last year as well stopped in at where the movie boy was filmed also got this sweet photo famous ya know we hooned for ages from here and then i done some donuts in an abandoned building kaimais photo and i made it home photo my speedo recons i done 1345kms and done a rough caculation via the net and google says around the 1220kms so i think my speedo is pretty bang on tbh. i kinda hope i got a speeding ticket going down the kaimais on a fifty cc scooter haha thats all for now. my ass is destroyed. till next time. oh i also done some jumps rad

The crash was a 26 Yr old by her self. https://i.stuff.co.nz/national/108538838/woman-who-died-in-gisborne-crash-was-erica-jones

i think this is next years east cape set up

man i was 50 mins to doing coast to coast on the vespa, why on earth did i stop. fuck that is a epic distance to travel in one day on a scooter.

@BLIZZO showing of his mangina This was at some stage around 130 am at hicks bay i think

My ears are ringing like no tomorrow and my but is destroyed. Over started riding at 730 this morning and I've just got home. I don't think I want to ride again.

Currently on the side of the road going for a piss and a motorbike just went passed. Almost gave him the thumbs up that I'm ok and not broke down...

Ment to be raining till lunch time and have 6mm of it around 10. Looks like I'm off to the warehouse to buy me some wet weather pants.

Oh man this is so brilliant.

Mean man. Will be in touch during tomorrows scootering. Made myself a leather pouch for my tool kit after today's gatherings. Cable ties come in a bag so no need for them in here.
