While the insurance company did cover the repairs, I told the local Yamaha place I wanted my old parts. I turned the front fender (just scratched in a couple of places) into a hanging lamp for above my sewing machine. I still have the front apron, and I hope to eventually turn it into some kind of decorative shelf.Amy Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05824496856530906295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241506655031982876.post-58281574094001758432012-02-01T17:36:23.992+11:002012-02-01T17:36:23.992+11:00Hi Marco and Elena, thanks for the compliments, if...Hi Marco and Elena, thanks for the compliments, if my designs bring people joy then that makes it all worth it.<br />Sue,<br />I appreciate the feedback. It had lived a tough life, there was a really nasty crack in the chassis that had been welded up multiple times and was severely unsafe. It didn’t pass registration despite the owner trying a fair few different places. The rust had attacked it and the engine had been sold. So it would have taken someone a LOT of time, money and effort to get this veteran Vespa on the road again. Like I said in my post, I really did save this old timer from the scrap heap and I put my blood, sweat and gears into repairing the body properly and reviving it into the pieces you see today.<br />I would love to see some of your husband and sons work, feel free to send me an email at dgiammett@live.com.au<br />Cheers,<br />David.Reinventing Wheelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08252649320736044898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241506655031982876.post-52707615854751719232012-01-25T05:34:54.387+11:002012-01-25T05:34:54.387+11:00Sad to see another Vespa has bitten the dust.

But if the alternative was the scrap yard, then I guess you have saved it and made good use out of it!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15170433525384067153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241506655031982876.post-64677465430954344302012-01-25T02:06:01.239+11:002012-01-25T02:06:01.239+11:00love itlove itElenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11190060305102042822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241506655031982876.post-50583026961569955732011-12-08T11:45:38.892+11:002011-12-08T11:45:38.892+11:00stumbled over your thread at www.vespaonline.de. a...stumbled over your thread at www.vespaonline.de. awesome work mate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
