ld 125 inspriation needed

[ollyheff]

Hey all
Bought a Spanish LD125 mk2 1950's, which needs a lot of work, so going to build it into a custom skelly or rat bike. Is there anyone on here who could help me date my spanish bike? it seems as though all frame numbers before 1970's were lost, so having trouble dating her. Looking for some inspiration, has anyone built something like this?

Here are a couple of pics as it stands.

Just finishing off a 1952 MK I LD. 125 engine and a engine mounting bar that is stepped with an additional bush .
It seems that Mr Innocenti changed design of components every other week will the Ld were being made.
Finding parts for this has been a bloody nightmare, it was originally stripped for restoration 5 years ago!
you'll need the patience of a saint to restore it, but it can be very rewarding at the end of it..

If you want something different there is a local guy who fits auto engines into LD frames.
