Bought from my father, scooters been in the family since i was a child.
A few pics from the early 90's,

Image
Picture of my GP before taking part in the Humber Bridge Scooter Record. My sister again all those years later.
Image
On the way home the piston failed so I decided it was time for a full resto/rebuild.
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Finally stripped and boxed up ready for paint and powdercoating.
Image
Underneath the number plate the frame was rotten through so a repair plate was sourced and stitched in.
Image
And off to paint it went. Meanwhile I stripped the engine down to bare casing had it vapour blasted and rebuild using most original innocenti parts.
Image
Image
Image
Image
Whilst all this was happening, I received quite a few boxes of beautifully finished items back from the powdercoaters.
Image
Image
Image
Image
Finally collected frame and assorted parts from the painters and the rebuild commenced.
Image
Image
Forks rebuilt eventually after rewelding my hanger bolts.
Image
Image
Lastest snaps of the GP being built in the living room with the pooch lending a paw.

A mate of mine did the welding, he's also a member on here. Wizard with a welding wand!! A neighbour did the vapour blasting he has he own bike company but his not cheap at £280 and by sealing you mean lacquer? no i just wanted the engine minted and cleaned before the rebuild.
