My DL200 Electronic project
Posted: Sun Oct 05, 2014 6:45 pm
Bought in 2012 in Northern Italy. Frame Number 2587**, Engine Number 2578**
Originally tried to remove the red spraycan paint with graffiti remover. Well the red paint was easy to remove but only to find out that the ochre underneath is on the outer parts not the original paint. Seems that before repainting in ochre the original paint was sanded. Removing of the repaint ochre is not possible as I come to the prime coat.
Spent two years to collect parts. Now the project is getting forward. Scooter dismantled and engine casing at Jockeys Boxenstop for walnut blasting, small parts away for chrome and zinc plating. When I get the engine casing and small parts back I will start rebuilding the engine and get the body parts to the painter.

Thats all for now, will post Pictures of part collection next. Advise is welcome to make the restoration perfect.
