As you can see, i wasn't too bothered with the rust affected areas, welds, dents, gauges or braising in fact I wanted to enhance them with the clear powder coat. This is the link to the thread on the forum http://scooterotica.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=24207

The disc front end had to be bined, it fits the GS forks but the angle of the forks through the alignment out by around 12mm too dangerous to ride, i tried. Its actually for the GL, Sprint or Rally so will find a set of forks and work on it over the winter, will need to manufacture a mudguard mount to fit the GS mudguard. So if you have a spare set and you want to sell them, send me a PM.
Cheers Gary

Its 80/100 hours with wire brush on grinder and then its clear powder coat lacquer, didn't bother fixing welds, rust affected areas or dents, the old braising welds look excellent under the clear powder.

XTra Respect! Cant believe it till I see it! Want it to be true? A 'Sportique/ 152L2/ VBA' frame with panels that do not need filling?

A complete GS150, did not bother about the dents, gauges, welds, braising or rust affected areas in fact it looks better with all that. The frame was not butchered either to fit the engine. Posted a few close up pictures with the Scottish weather included, looks good in blazing sunshine and p1551ing rain. Will take more pictures of the engine area and close ups of the finish, thats all I had.

I can agree with that! The only pisser is that I will have to have my passport in my pocket to view her post September. f@@king shame on us if that travesty comes to pass!

That bud.....is awesome. Bet even better in the flesh. Wats the engine in it again? Are u gonna give those worb disc forks a go..top job gary. U must be proud ov her:) needs rallyin now an a few awards. Beats a fancy paint job any day imho

Looks excellent well done

Cheers

To be honest the pictures don't do the finish justice and either in the rain or blazing sunshine it looks so good, but it did take at least 100 hours with a wire brush on a grinder.

The rear light cost around £15, the only thing is you need to cut a 20mm diameter hole to fit the light fitting to the scooter and two M5 holes for the bolts, twin filament bulb, I think 100mm diameter in total. I will post the link for the light when you need it.

On a closer look I think it is not a repro Lucas 529 that I thought, what is it then? Ultimate respect for the labour spent on prep Gary: you must have biceps like Popeye and fingers like Oliveoil after doing the domestics.....
