Dirty Scooters - Lambretta Li 150 series 2 restore and 64 GL malossi 221

this blog is a record of my scooter projects. The Dirty Rocket is finished for now, and I am about to begin restoring a '58 Lambretta Li150 series 2. The Dirty rocket started out as an attempt to build my ideal scooter from a rusted bare heap for as little money as possible. (The frame is a '57 VNA) now a 64 GL frame.

what I'm starting with...




FRAME:
bare frame. ....Before losing heart (and buying a harley style honda) the previous owner had the frame media blasted and has cut the centre channel of the floor out right up to the bottom of the horncast.

side cowls. ... both are stripped bare. Both have rusted through in pinholes around the bottom. The toolbox side is straight and the engine side needs beating ( in a do-able spot).

28mm round slide japanese carby (Keihin) - not sure if I'll use it, but I have it.

PX200 head (USA low compression) (probably won't need this either)
