It'd look way cooler painted VW Thing yellow or Disco Bus blue, Ha Ha! This looks great though, just watch out for dogs off their leashes. :D

ok... I finally got this pig running, and fires right up on first kick. I still have several things to do, but am in the home stretch. I am not getting any more than 1/2 a volt from the lighting coils on the magneto plate, but they are probably just bad. I am pissed about half the parts I've ordered for this thing are universal "fit every vespa ever made" parts that all need to be altered and sorted out to make work. But, I should be happy that I can even find anything to make this thing run down the road.
More to come...Click on the first pic for a video of it running!
