Scooterotica

(thought I'd resurrect this from the old site..got some new piccys....I never did get it sorted for brid but I'm back on with it now

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Here's my new project (english, 6 digit reg 1959). I wanted to do a rustaration style one with a bit of stealth, but this one came along ( a bit too far gone for rustaration) My plans are a full rebuild / respray (no shiney tat, prob no badges...see how it goes when I'm doing it)

Engine wise...gonna pop a 225 monza with a jl snail exhaust....so it will have an element of stealth











I'll keep you posted on my progress

Here's an update...

Been out spent some dosh , got all the major body parts (cheers Buzz for decent price )

I've just thrown it all together (no real tightening of nuts and bolts etc) and to tell you the truth I'm quite surprised how well it all fits together. There’s gonna be a couple of fixing holes that need enlarging for the mudguard to fit correctly, same for the rear runners...schweeeet 8) !




Pos thinking of using an ancilotti slope back or just one single saddle (not sure yet!!!!)






Thinking of doing the rear similar to a S1 I've seen on here (frenched 'stop' light) and then bending an alloy plate to contour with the rear of the frame


Also thinking of doing away with panel handles, perhaps clips or pins...still thinking about it (thing something is needed to break the expanse of the rear end)

Bit bizzy next week, but hope to get the frame blasted the week after, then away we go....

MISSION STATEMENT:
Complete Project S1 for 'Bridladingdong' (Brid)

Here's another update

Dry fit #2, the panals have been fitted and a bit of fettling has taken place. I've not fitted the headset fully as I didn't want to get the frame cone stuck in before I send the frame to the blasters.



I've had to do some drilling and re-threading on the horncast (quiet a nervy job...not wanting to break it)


I've fitted a decent sized toolbox, as I'll eventually be fitting a long range tank


I've also put some steel loops to put my chain through, when parking up (these are hardly visible when viewed at the normal level, see 1st picture)


I've had the rear light 'frenched' in (still loads of work to be done on the rear as you can see)




The rear mudguard will need a bit of a modification, but the rear light doesn't intrude into this area too drastically


I'm Hoping to get the frame to the blasters, tomoz. If all goes to plan it may be done for my Brid deadline...wishful thinking, I know

Another update

I've been working on her rear (Mmmmmm )



I'm going to be using bonnet pin catches (like the kind they use on rally cars with the pin and ring), instead of panal handles. You can see the bracket I've made on the table. I've made it with a long fixing bracket due the state of the rear part of the loop, I dont want to put too much strain on one area. I also tried adapting the original brackets to use the pins...but failed









The final bodywork type job is th rear mudguard, then I just need to get it painted

I've also done some work on the case to match it up to the monza kit, I like doing this kinda stuff





Going to finish building the motor over this week

I've also built the forks, but having a bit of fun getting the hub to fit properly without modding the kit (its one of the pepper pot types), anyone else got one of these?

Here's another update.....

Ford Bermuda Blue 2k











Painted by a local car sprayer so this is no show winner (there’s few areas that will need a little work, but if I can’t sort them out, I’m not going to lose any sleep over it) not bad for £250

The question is....can I build it in time for brid....more importantly can I get enough garage time without the missus shouting "when are you coming back in......"

Mike

thats looking wonderfull..................
well done

Another update after a few lazy months off......................

Here's the rear number plate finally fitted




sexy diablo tank...nice


Decided to put the loom though the frame, with the intention of coming out at the rear through the hole for the frame breathing side of things


My plans were foiled..the frame is blocked just passed the engine mount....should of checked before drilling DOHHHH

cheers shaun

Haven't I seen that back end before somewhere?

Yeah mate...that ass was an inspiration to me!

Just found a few more pics

Had to create a cut out in the rear mudguard to allow for the rear light






Rear panal clips (snazzy or what)

See...its those kinky mods that put the erotic into Scooterotica!!

It looks El Minto...and not just the colour!

I was wondering what clips were gonna go on the panels; when I seen the holes still there after painting. I do like an uncluttered back end on an S1 myself. One question: is that a pressed alloy plate that you've contoured (bent) to follow the shape of back end and are they grey rubber anti vibration washers as well?

I will be taking notes and emulating (nice word for blatantly copying) some of the good work I've seen on Various S1's inc yours! :bald:

Cheers Stu

P.S - still got that JL stub?

Yip still got the jl stub for you, it was waiting by the door in a bag for a phone call from you (at xmas) it’s been demoted back to the garage (pm me your address and I send it ya)

The number plate is an ally one. I made a steel back plate, a tad short than the number plate size, then bent that to the contour of the rear of the scoot. I then bent the number plate to the shape of the backplate. Then using the 3 rubbers that your supposed to fit the plate with (I cut the longer one in two,) I then shaped the 4 of them a tad to match the curve of the back end, fitted it all on and hey presto a nice looking pukka plate

PS copy away I hold no copy rights to anything
As already stated on here I've nicked the idea for the rear light off someone on here (bloody nice scoot he has too )
