Vespa GS 160 series 2 restoration

[a.lo.v2]

crikey! probably not what you want to hear but i would junk that, how bad must it have been before the repairs.unless you are a skilled welder/fabricator or have a good mate who is the costs are going to be phenominal, and would have to be a super rare or historical machine to justify outlay. good luck if you decide to proceed.

Let me know if you decide to not carry on with the restoration.
I could make use of the side panels for my GT160

Was this bought of eBay from the company in Portsmouth. I have seen there scooters and the price always looks to good to be true.

Yes, I did get it from him, and it has cost me a lot of money already, but giving up now would cost me more, so I have sourced a new frame which should arrive tomorrow from Denmark, so I'm crossing my fingers this one will be better!

Is it from Ricambi, if so it will be a good buy.

for all the non-believers, i present you my welded and painted frame.

[dapper]

That looks stunning, but is it the same rotten frame this thread started with or the replacement If it's the original, then that is fantastic work.

[Doom Patrol]

It might be both.

it is the side panels, mudguard and headset of frame 1 and the frame of the danish frame. which was in quite a bad state as well
