  After 17 years, the cart was about. The engine siffte and was completely sucked out, the paint is defective and poorly üerlackiert at welds and there was rust in many places.
The restoration has used real-time.

 
The engine was completely rebuilt.
Just looked bad. The oily gear now no longer fit for housing and the cylinder were covered with soot from a cart and spent.
Pellet was then blasted with plastic, makes a customer who came over on the weekend.
Then all parts were polished. Not glossy, which breaks down too quickly. But just beautiful.

 
 

We are silent about the chrome. 'm Glad that a few key parts seem ok. Much, however, is poorly polished and some scrolls. Ne even bump I've discovered in the tank.

But the paint is great. Sami has done.

Then I made and built three weeks vacation.
The moped I've been several times completely dismantled and rebuilt. Nevertheless, one forgets a lot. Also were some new parts. Then also been missing something, a new mother, I had to have an extra customizing. Where has always remained.
The best moment is when the engine is started for the first time.
