Hey,

This is my latest of a long line of Smallies. I got it of a mate in exchange for rebuilding an Li125 he had.
It came as part of a group of 4 scooters he bought whilst stationed in Cyprus. My Jet200 is one of the other scoots he bought.

Anyway I was gonna put it on the road as it stood for my missus with the view to respray/tune in the future...........BUT

Our wedding is fast approaching and funds are tight, so the decision to sell was made.

We found a buyer who happens to be a mate and a DJ.......SO

My mate is doing the wedding disco for free and giving me £400for the smallframe, all in about £650 worth.

He has now decided to do it justice he is going to restore it, thats where this restore thread comes in.........

He asked me to strip it, he is then getting it blasted/sprayed/powder coated/seat retrimmed and buying the parts needed to build it then I'm gonna build it back up for him!

Pics below................I'll update as it progresses!

As it came from Cyprus

@ JoeP...............Oh dear! I'll keep my allegiance to 'The Tractor Boys' quiet then shall I !!!
@ Lam46........It does look similar in those pics but it is very different!! The smallframe is a lemon yellow/lime combination, my old Group 4 racebike was Kawasaki Green/bright yellow........Team Readspeed colours, who I used to race with/for.
Your right about being skint!We've got 2 little boys so I'm always skint!!
Ahhhhhh The green box! That goes back to when I had thousands of scooter spares and I used to do the parts fairs (when they where autojumbles and not shiny Asian tat'fests they are now!!), that box had broken/tatty scooter parts in it!!! hence Scoot Shite!!

Lol :-)
