Big step forward.

Rest of the stuff can be drip fed, as and when I feel like doing it.

Rear sub frame painted. Small steps...

"Vehicles modified or scratch-built, that have been de-registered (or licensing fees not paid for 12 months or more resulting in the vehicle's registration lapsing), do not need re-certification if they have their LVV certification plate affixed to the vehicle structure. Vehicles with a modification declaration certificate will need to be LVV Certified, as this certificate becomes null and void upon the vehicles registration lapsing. Vehicles that have only original manufacturers' equipment fitted or modifications done that are below the LVV Threshold need only have re-registration inspection and a VIN number issued, if required."

Awesome thanks. My vespa with sidecar has a lasped rego. I purchased it this way, so paid accordingly.

Is the cert still valid, if the rego has expired? Assuming no changes are made, can you re register the vehicle and carry on?

Took this photo the other day. Not my mini (I'd love one), but shows how small classic minis are.

Awesome! What's the outboard? V6 300 going by the pics.

Old school Johnson V6 2 stroke. Runs like a dream.

That's looking epic. Love the sheetmetal work.

Black vespa No3

Subtle custom race numbers added...black on black for extra street cred.

Fuck yeah!

Another one finished, came out pretty sweet.

My ocd can relax, everything in pairs and straighlines.

Got another vespa going. Im a sucker for a lost cause, try to save them all.

Using parts I had left over from various projects I was able to fix this motor and get it going again.

I put it into an LML Belladonna frame. Gave it a kick and it starts first kick...epic!!

Super happy.

New shock. Beautiful bit of gear, but purchasing it felt like I was buying shares in the company $$$

Check the for sale posts, I just put up the Wajax bike. Bit of oldschool velobike history.

Finished item. Pretty happy with this, really completes the look. And I get to insert my race number into it, which is something I put on everything I own.

Needs a wet sand, as I did a quick hit with dry 80grit...but ran out of time. It'll come up sweet. So stoked that I can just whip up custom parts like this. 3D printing has 100% changed the game for me.

Cool little drawing project. Butt plug for my steering damper bracket. Fucking love my 3D printer...

This weekends mission...calling it a win.

Stupid fast polini kitted vespa motor, polini big bore kit taking it from 125cc to 177cc. Its awesome, can handle expressway speeds hangs with traffic no problem.

Made two vespas into one good one. Fast and pretty...not a bad combination.

When I said money pit...

This type of purchase was what I was referring to. Holy fuck...$600 delivered. 

Shit adds up fast on these projects. I haven't been counting, and don't think I want to put myself through that torture. So I'm going to pretend that I've spent nothing on this bike.

This will be my coping mechanism from now on...

Came out amazing. Custom 3D printed LED taillight. Fuck yeah!!

I've tweaked the drawing a little bit and I'm going to do a version 3.0. Slight changes...but mostly unseen.

V2.0

I'll print it this week when i pick up some black filament.

Has 3x bolt holes to help pull in the edges for a nicer fit, plus a cord hole for wiring etc. Slightly thicker all round to be a bit stronger than V1.0.
