To Build or Not to Build that is the Question.

I don't think Shakespeare said that somehow.

I picked up this poor sad looking Peugeot Pox 110cc for a £5 note today.

Needs love and attention or filling up the trailer with more scrap metal for a weigh in at the yard.

Poor thing. How can it have done such low mileage, but he so bad? 🤔
It's going to need a lot of money spending on it.

Indeed it would, had a quick look at it for pricing on eBay but unsure which generic Chinese bike it cross references with. Was just looking for the basics no panels required as a sort of rat scooter was the idea but pricey if Peugeot only parts available.
So may look about till the weekend and fill it with scrap. Got petrol by the looks so already made my £5 back and removed exhaust and headlamp/ Speedo plastics to poke on eBay.

They are quite a rare bike. So unless you come across a donor bike. It's not feasible to do.

Today I joined the son in law's side of the family of gypsies and became a scrap man. Peugeot is off to the yard and I just decided once removed engine from the Chituma that's going too. Just need bit more scrap to make a load. 
Reminds me of the days I lived near the end of Fratton rd in Pompey and use to take scrap to Bunnies yard round the corner on Goldsmith avenue I think. (aeroxbud maybe old enough to remember those places) 😊.

That's not there anymore. I used to live not far from there, but don't remember it. But have only lived here for about 12 years.
Good idea though Milly. Save your self some grief. 👍

Saving myself even more grief the engine can go to, my back already hurts tonight moving stuff about in the garage and clearing up and now it's outside the rain has just started.
