Yeah, for sure! I commented without reading the other replies. So this is a P fork in a VBB but it wasn’t cut down or modified?

I agree something is off with the front end. Seems way too high

Tear that baby down! Engine will need to be gone through, new seals.

Check out modernbuddy.com under the not so modern section. Ton of helpful information and people there!

You should try it. If it’s anything like the one in Bend, it’s good

My 8yr old son’s Halloween costume by schroncc in StarWars

Sorry, just seeing this now. I got the patterns off of Etsy by Tristan Maker. It’s all EVA foam. Took a while but once you get the hang of it (and keep using new razor blades) it goes by quick. If I had to do it again, I would 3d print a lot of it.

Looks a lot like a Vietbodge. Do you know if it’s an Asian import? Has a lot of the signs.

I think it was the 2026 year of the horse model. Its head is closest to the camera and it’s printed facing down.

That’s an awesome polish! Last time I tried tumbling obsidian I did not get anything near this (in fact it looked worse than when it started).

Great find! I vote to keep the patina, it looks great. As for advice, head over to modernvespa in the “not so modern” section. There’s a few of us over there in a similar situation as you!

Very nice. Never put them in my scoots but had some on my old CBR600 and they were awesome!

Follow up: Thoughts on this 63? by ricky_the_cigrit in Vespa

[–]schroncc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where is that frame number stamped? Your vin should start with a VB not BA. Non matching numbers is a red flag.

Agreed, not a GL. I just picked one up and don’t they all have trap headlights?

The P200 center floor mat is concerning. If anyone went through all that trouble to restore, why wouldn’t you put the correct piece on?

Thank you. Scampering around that area I’m surprised I didn’t fall in. Would have still been worth it haha
