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.

New wack a wheel squeeze


Unfortunately my history of disappointment didn't let me down today when the postie arrived.
The rack (bought off ebay pictured on a 10 inch bike) turned out to be for an 8 inch spare wheel.
The rack fitted the scooter alright, and was just the delicate looking one I wanted..... so........
......





Sorted. Sometimes it's handy having a steelworking factory.
I could have put it back on ebay then started again but I'm not that kind of guy.


Also, by coincidence the scooter owned by the rack seller (ebay) had these strange mirrors(below). I had heard of the clamp things to go onto the VNA split headset, but when this pic arrived I decided to get them. I ordered them from scooterworks in the USA.
Now it is a matter of waiting for the crank and head.
