Project Li 125 series 2

[kevspeed]

At the tender age of 26,a work colleague has decided to venture forth into the world of 'Lambretta',as 'he's always fancied one'!
Advice given was.........''Pick the one with the best/complete bodywork'',which he did
The work starts here............................

Nice mate!!! What work,just mechanical and leaving the bodywork?

The plan is (at the moment),to get it running and handling as it should,then use it as is for a year,then possibly (funds permitting),a full bodywork resto!!
Anyway,more pictures of progress to follow........................

Looks like he's picked a good'un there - and it does seem to lend itself to a rustoration job.... sort the engine & running gear - then just clean, polish & seal all the bodywork...

You could even put a nice tuned motor into it with the money you'd save on bodywork & paint...

Got to be fair,all that's been dismantled so far has done so with little trouble (with the help of a bloody good soaking in WD40),the only part that has given trouble was the exhaust system!
All the relevant nuts/washers undid without a problem,but no way was the silencer coming off the downpipe!,but as that was knackered anyway I ended up cutting it off !
Ive not a clue what the crap inside the engine is,but whatever,its going to take some real effort to clean up!,its clogged everything big time !

Series 3 engine. So, it's been apart at some time. Love threads like this. Better than a strip and paint job. Keep the photos coming.
