  • I get to work on my buddy Marco's 1979 P200l. A scooter I know well, she rolls into the shop for all new wiring, cables, electronics, clutch, and suspension. It ends up taking me months, not the days or weeks I thought it would but finally, here is the epic tale that spans time and.... Well, mostly time.

    The way Marco is there and he doesn’t get involved kinda makes me think maybe its cos he’s a biiiiiiiiiiatch!

    Yourself and Marco are like brothers. Starting to think about putting some upgrades on my own tx 200.

    Very nice revival brother, I've pretty much done the same to my 87 T5 Mk1, it's the little things that make the world of difference. Adding a 1967 Lambretta Innocenti Li125 Special (fitted with a freshly built AF Rayspeed 200cc engine) to my garage in a week or so but thankfully it has been fully restored (Glad because I know nothing about Lambrettas lol) Can't wait :D Look forward to the next video when you can my friend. Be safe :D

      Yeah. I sold the mini. It got away from me and I had to face facts. The body was too far gone for me and my skill set so I had to let her go to a new home. I picked up that 84 K20 you see. Running and driving, no bad rust. Just needs a few things all of which I have. The only thing I dont have, being time.

      @@americanscooter504 yeah British car with British steel which was poor at the time and British climate with salty roads in winter ,omg did the mini rot ! ,they all needed welding to death after 10 year old , great little fun car for narrow British roads, loads of my mates had them , but rot boxes !!!
      ,back in 60s the mini was same price as a triumph bonneville and so had a helping hand in killing off the British bike industry
