Kimjon's 50cc (then later ... 150cc and 400cc...then 1000cc) of awesomeness! Oh and a 2+1 wheeled machine...

My ocd can relax, everything in pairs and straighlines.

Another one finished, came out pretty sweet.

Black vespa No3

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

Sorry, only just noticed your post. Yes, sounds great thanks.

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

Haven't posted anything in a long time. But the projects Haven't stopped. Been a few more come and go. But this is my latest acquisition.

Needs a cut and polish, but it should buff out...

[Kimjon]

But in all seriousness...holy fuck this is a big, little project. It needs so much work. It's well fucked in every regard.

[Kimjon]

Made it home...its so pretty.

 

There's a lot to work with. In some ways it's more complete than I realized, and in other ways I see my future will involve getting very good at welding panel steel.

[Kimjon]

Let the rust repairs begin...

 

[Kimjon]

More rust...yep, no shortage of it. The stuff never sleeps...

[Kimjon]

Even the rear tray chassis was fucked.

But they're still making steel, so no problems just solutions.

Off topic but is that a t-bucket build going on to?

Yep, I've done a few projects that I haven't posted up.

 

[Kimjon]

Here's my most recent one I've finished. Pretty happy with this one considering the basketcase I started with.

That looks sweet!

Made a little progress with the Ape. 

[Kimjon]

And started building a motor for it. Check list was it must do the following:

Make 2T nang noises

Smoke little of that sweet smelling oil fuel mix

Be a manual with a clutch

Shift gears on the clutch lever

Be force air cooled as its mounted under a seat.

 

So that kinda narrowed it down. Sticking with what I know, I took a blown up vespa 150cc 2T motor and replaced the bare minimum of the fucked parts for unfucked parts. Hopefully I can kick it in the guts this week?
