Yea seem to be going up a little in value, previous owner informs me its got a 70cc top end on it which explains why it goes so well.

Plan is to go for a resto mod, basically restored back to original but maybe an exhaust and other minor upgrades along the way. Will see what happens.

Going to to clean out the tank and get it running perfect then next week get it registered

Figured id try AA as its just a couple of office ladies rather than grumpy vehicle inspectors. Only trick is that on the form the vehicle type is not on the list of options. Options list starts at "02" but a moped is "01"

Really? Have you got a place down there like I used that is an AA purely for licencing and registration? Not part of a workshop or anything just a office.

The ladies here didnt even mention an inspection, just told me "no speeding" and laughed when I told them I probably couldnt if I tried

BEER plate

Even better, its B8EER

AA here won't do it, when I tried they told me I had to go to VTNZ.

But VTNZ here was super easy, walk in, ask for/fill out form, pay and walk out with plate reg.

Mine was showing up on there computer, they didn't care when I made it like 7 years newer and changed the model.

Small update.

Have been slowly stripping bits off, taking them to work and bead blasting them. Have panel beaten the front guard with a claw hammer and broom handle and gotten most of the dents out.

Leaves it looking quite naked:

Also had my order from webike japan show up today (was sent from Japan 4 days ago!)

And a quick mock up

So this is now in basically as many peices as it can be, have taken all the small bits to work and used the bead blaster. A lot of the chrome bits were rusted so they will now be painted with Hammerite Black, frame was sanded and primed along with the guards.

So need to grab a couple cans of colour for the frame and and paint the guards white then start putting it back together. I would like to get some wide rims, new tyres, lower rear shocks and a nice exhaust but finances are a little tight so will see what happens

i've been trying to hunt down some wide rims for the 3 spoke type wheel. i had found some months ago but lost the site, so far i can only find wide rims for the 4 spoke style wheels 

 

EDIT:  you lucky bugger you seem to have the 4 spoke wheels..
