Hey all,
You can follow here my current messy build of a Italian Vespa VNB from 1962. Here she is after I picked up and put another seat on her, just to check the lines
Currently I am stripping the paint, which consists of six layers and is a real pain in the ass.
There will be a proffessional paint job, I just want to do as much prep as possible, for experience. After using the stripper I wire brush with a 180grit nylon brush, then cover with oil until I get to remove the last tiny bits of oil. Then there will be rust converter and protection before priming and filling.
Some of the oddities I encountered:
BEST WIRING NA
![]()
Two holes in the legshield
What will happen to it?
As you know me, I like the techhy stuff.
So from 8" I will convert to 10" with a disc brake fork.
Full YSS low suspension.
The engine will be:
210cc Malossi kit, (older version) stroked at 60mm (up from 57) with aggressive timings in the 185-190 exhaust. Comes up to 221cc
38 PWK carb
RD350 VForce reeds
Stock ignition with a lighter flywheel (50% of the weight)
Kingwelle CNC crankshaft, such a beauty
Short 4th, long transmission (aiming at 85-90mph)
There is a lot of work to be done on the cylinder, I cannot wait.
AND YES I KNOW I WILL ATTACK THAT 50cc ENGINE SOON, K???
