As I am just about to split my casings and do the same you have just scared the living daylights out of me, yours looked terrible at the start, with all the damage etc. Makes me wonder what I am going to find, was hoping it was just a warn cruciform.
Good luck with the project, how about a picture of the Scoot it comes from?

Blimey, that crank is pretty rusty, that's er, unusual, good luck with the rebuild..

[Lan]

ye thts what i thought witht the crank if it proves to be unrepairable im going to replace it, and if i took a pic of whats left of the t5 all you would have to look at is a white headset

[guppstah]

So what are your plans with the engine, when you have finished the rebuild?

[Lan]

putting it in the PX and leaving my px engine aside for another frame

[Lan]

updated plans got offered a T5 mk1 frame from uncle took it and it is due to arrive 2morro so ill upload pix when it arrives

[Lan]

Heres the pics of the frame after i stripped it down panels and forks are in the garage along with everything else, got the frame with logbook for a steal @ £70 that in no way makes this a cheap project though, just wish i had more money

[bryno]

WOW, that is stripped.. now just put the angle grinder to that rear end piece and you'd have a good looking scoot

What's the plan then, use this frame with your panels?
