Well, as it goes I was going to give the Lambretta a little revamp over winter...nothing too mad, just tart up and suit it to my liking more. That was then......

This is now :lol:

Well here it is with some panels and leggys I've cut to suit..

It's been a pain in the arse if I'm honest, first attempt of doing this so the learning 'curve' is pretty vertical.

I change my mind everyday what to do with her, and one day i decided on having a hinged frame loop.....wouldn't have if I had known then how much of a pain it is has been!

So I'm sending it to the welders this Friday, get the toolbox door welded up and the side panels welded on and a few extra plates for the hinge and catch.

And hopefully building myself a tank to give the loop a purpose as such.

Well I suppose ill try keep this updated if I remember.
Cheers

Do you have a link or a picture, there's a good chance I've seen it but off the top of my head I can't think what it looks like.

The rear shape was decided after I saw a madspeed cutdown with similar rear to this, just tweaked it a wee bit :)
I've tried keeping it somewhat original, but its hard not to be inspired by some of the cutdowns out there!!

Drops and a leggie LD toolbox would look good.

Drops are next on the 'to buy' list :D and I was thinking about a LD toolbox, how easy are they to fit to GP leggys?
