Kevlar material over the steel then coated with epoxy resin.

It's a process called skinning.

I saw a carbon fibre skinning kit and decided to give it a go with a kevlar effect instead.

I bought the parts separately and it cost approx. £200 to do the bits plus £120 for the black powder coating.

The frame, tank etc I bought of eBay for £300 and the panel work for £100.

The Imola engine I had in another GP (which I upgraded to an RB22).

So if you don't count the engine the scooter has been built for approx £800.

I think that's not too bad considering how much Lambrettas cost these days

The colour scheme ain't my cup of tea but i appreciate the effort and thought gone into it. I also like the fact you've done it yourself and not got a cheque book out and let someone else do the work. Where did you get the Kevlar matting and do they have a selection of styles/colours? Enjoy the scoot.

Yes cut the floor runners out of ally plate, which is a pain to work on with the checquer pattern.

The spacers between the plates and floor are cut out of ally hollow rods.

Forgot about the seat.

A nice chap called Gary Simpson made the one off seat to my spec.

Very reasonable, in fact I would go so far as to say cheap for £108 delivered.

I bought the gel pad that is inside it separately.
