Hello all.. Danny here, I ride a standard mk1 T5 and rather lively 1978 primavera with the added twist of h2o and a few additional horses. Its currently in the paint shop getting airbrushed.. Shutter #4 (original Thai version).
Looking forward to a bit of banter..
KTF!

Thanks henri, its a great little scoot, we've tucked and hidden everything away as much as possible. The artwork on those pics are vinyl, not the best. Its currently being airbrushed in the same slightly subtle style.
Its a Quattrini setup on the main part, the casing, crank and cylinder is all quattrini. Mikuni TMX38 carb, and the gearing is DRT. The radiator is positioned horizontally underneath the floorboards.

Good work your scoot looks the business. And it sounds like it kicks ass too. Double whammy.

Airbrush work is well underway, itll be pushed back a bit so not as bright as its showing here, and then some clearcoat to create gloss/matt finish.. Im hoping to pick it up tomorrow and get the rebuild underway. Front Reserve tank More to follow.. BTW, Ive got the film on my web server if anyone wants it, let me know.

Ha, no.. the only thing I can draw is that house with a x in it without taking my pen off the paper.. and the Everton crest, quite badly!
I handed over some stills from the film, I did a few impersonations on how I wanted it to look, then handed the frame to Sam Hubbard from Airbrush Perfections. To say Im over the moon with what he's done is a massive understatement.
Its getting baked tonight, then a bit of a polish on the shiny parts tomorrow. There is going to be a subtle number 4 at the backend, polished into the matt. In keeping with the film. She chases him down a stairwell, and he always ends up back on floor 4. Which is an unlucky number in Thailand, so quite significant.
Im really looking forward to picking it up and getting the rebuild underway.

Pulled a late one last night so it could be finished for a ride to Bloxwich today, and Llangollen tomorrow. Its not 100% done yet buts its close, and its on the road again. We had a few issues with the braided hoses, they are a bugger to keep in place, I might replace them for silicone if any more issues arise with them. Happy with the rebuild, the new radiator and housing looks the part, I might get it painted yet, the jury is out.
