first step into restoring - re-building

[mtm81]

Hello...

I'm new here, but thought I'd stop along and say hello and as that you all wish me luck as I embark on my first ever re-build restoration project.

I have a Lotus elise which has required a small amount of spanner work here and there but nothing too bad.. however although I know around an engine in terms of what does what... I'd like to get my hands dirty so thought a vespa would be something simpler to get started with?

Sound about right?

Having a look on flea-bay now for a donor scooter to purchase but wondered if you guys knew of anywhere else I could look online?

Cheers !

Hello mate, welcome to the forum.

I'm guessing you don't need the usual ebay warnings, but be careful.
Here's another place you might want to look,

There are plenty of people on here who will give you good advice if you need it, so don't hesitate to ask.

Good luck and let us know how you get on.

Hi, welcome to the forum

If you've got a scooter club that meets near you, they might know where there's a machine to suit your needs.

PM me if you want a steer on what clubs are in your area.

I live near the Lotus works in Norfolk as it happens.
