- In this video we take a trashed scooter and repair and restore the plastic fairings by plastic welding them back together with cable ties as the welding filler rods. the plastic cable ties were made of the same plastic as the motorcycle fairings so if you are going to attempt this, make sure you are using the same filler material as the original plastic.

Held together with cable ties-but not in the way you'd think! Genius!
Nice to see a modest ans simple scooter getting some very decent TLC,. For a change.
Usually YT has tons of videos of scooters being trashed for no particular reason other than stupidity.
Thumbs up. Cheers
Amazing skills my man. I was scanning the entire internet looking for it. The result itself was impressive good. Many thanks!
Welding plastic. With a soldering iron and cable ties. Genius.
5:11 WOW, that looks like a cool custom marble pattern!
I would leave it like that to add some character to my ride!
Great to see someone actually mending something instead of just throwing it away! Good job sir!
Great idea with melting cable ties as filler material. Didn't know their plastic compound construction was the same as the plastic fenders and such. Thanks for the ideas!
That was a very impressive job Martin, it's amazing how strong those joins are and with cable ties used for the weld,?, I would never have thought about using them,.
I find videos like these so satisfying
Absolutely amazing! Talk about using what you have on hand! Incredible repair.
Brilliant job Martin. I learned something with the cable ties. I’m impressed. lol
thank you so much for your detailed repair process !! i managed to repair my scooters fairing and mud guard with your help ! thanks buddy
Glad it helped
That mudguard was just aching to be a Cyberman/Alien Mask!!! Very inventive!
“As you can see” you have some serious skills 👌🏻💪🏻
that cable tie tip is spot on cheers bud
Excellent job.You sir are a Craftsman of high calibre.
Brilliant trick with cable ties martin, il remember that in case I send my bike down the road lol :)
Great work! My 2009 vino 125 got dumped on the left side. No broken pieces, just beautiful tri coat metallic red paint has road rash on side of fairing/leg shield and front fender. I was able to buy a new left rear side cover in same color. I'm afraid to spend 100.00 on factory base coat, mid coat, and clear top coat. I know it will look like crap if I try to paint it. Body shop wants 500.00. Cant buy those two parts anywhere. Thanks for sharing.
That was definetly a fantastic idea to use the cable ties as filler, I'll be using this idea when needed. You are the man Martin.
Martin, Cracking job Pun intended lol, What a transformation from start to finish top job, Cheers Dave
Cheers Dave, On the mend just like you.
Cracking job as usual Martin get well soon mate.
This is perfect!
My scooter also has cracks and scratches, but mostly faded plastics.
This will look sooooo good...
Hey i did this few days ago with a ziptie and i find your video way after, now i know i did it well, and you give me also assurance to make it better , smooth finish and well paint to, it was really fun and informative to watch this video. Thank you.
Look great that will make someone a great little bike glad to see you are up and about hope your better now
If i were your neighbour , the beer would be on me!. What a refreshing new technique. Welding plastic...i,m realy surprized.
Verry good job mate, Thank you!!!
Looks absolutely amazing I hope mine turns out this good I have a pre bug Yamaha Zuma that has a small crack I need to take care of
Excellent job Martin.
Awesome restoration Martin.
Nice way of making a few bucks fixing up scooter like that. Thanks for sharing
I was going to put some fiberglass and resin on the inside of the broken plastics for reinforcement and then filler in the cracks, sand and paint... im so glad i watched this video first. I was hesitant about plastic welding, but now I know I can use readily available zipties. It looks great! 👍 I have a rare scooter that they don't make anymore and parts are scarce, so replacement isn't an option!
Never seen that before with cable ties, brilliant job Martin.
Usual thorough job, Martin.
Amazing what a little patience and know how can accomplish
Well done Mate! I love channels like these for the DIY kinda guy. So great to learn new techniques. Now I reckon I just need to go break something, so I can plastic weld it back together. Cheers!
Fab job amazing idea with the cable ties just one thing it maybe an idea to blank out the registration plates
Great video Martin. Another great job with a fantastic finish, looks really good !
Cheers, Jeff.
Great idea , I’m never to old to learn it seems 👍
Cables Ties what an excellent way to fix cracked fairings; I wish I new this way when my son and I put together a damaged fairing on his motorcycle.
Well done you did a cracking job on that Scooter, there's no hint on the state it was in before you repaired it. 👍
Ps: Martin hope you're doing fine now just make sure that you don't over do it, keep well. 😉
Great video Martin, it's so good to learn something new as well, kind of reminded me of the old technique for repairing body panels (pre 1970's) when lead was melted into damaged areas
They still lead load now as well bud.
You are very good at fixing painting everything awsome
absolutely excellent restoration well done !!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice job again Martin.
Superb Job Mart, Awesome Repairs.
Baz.
Great job Martin you a skill full man top job mate
A really nice resto mate! It looks great.
I look forward to watching your videos every time you make one so interesting and informative ❤❤❤

Thanks bud.
excellent work! If you didn't know it was busted it would pass for new.
Good as new Martin. Only time I've done plastic welding was in 1985 when I bought the new crashed 550 Kawasaki.
Yes Malc, this turned out great and was very strong as well.
YES !!!!! Been waiting on my ButlerFix for ages ...... though I appreciate you’re still not yet firing on all 4 cylinders. Hope your feeling much better Martin, absolute trooper to keep uploading while you’re sick. Another great video as always. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Cheers bud.
nice one martin great finish! would never have thought that could be saved.
as usual martin ,a top notch first class job,.......all the best....................dougie
That welding! Genious!
Great job and a fix I've used in the past....another thing I do is drill a small hole at the end of the split just to stop further cracking.
Now i can stitch up my Choi Nori fairings. Thanks to you!
Man that is brilliant what a great use of cable ties good job
Great Video Martin just wish I was as handy as you are with stuff really do mate !!!
Fantastic repair job Martin, well done.
A great help. Thank you . Deep breath here we go 🤕
Excellent video thanks 👍🇬🇧

Good evening Mart
I hope your feeling better mate ,
Another nice repair done , looks good
Cheers Phil
Good lord man
Here this is for you 🍺
I enjoyed the video thank you
Top quality job mate
Very very well restoration! I love your channel
Really enjoyed this one . well done Martin .
Another Great Job again Martin,By the way I have noted that when you have done work on your Transit you have used Vactan as a rust inhibitor. I have just removed the roof rack off my 2008 Transit there is rust on the roof edges and and in the center of the roof where access over the years was difficult to clean.Now when the weather improves I will try that Vactan I have just bought on the rust before I spray the roof. So Thanks for your info on Vactan and I will let you know how I get on with it.
Great job mate,if I can Ofer one bit of advise is to drill a small hole at the end of the crack this will stop it spreading further ,I’ve fixed a few drones the same way
Yes I normally do that but I didn't bother on this one.
That's that they do with small cracks on airliner wings, just to make you feel safer
Job well done mate. Thanks for sharing with us
wow NICE WORK DUDE!
Dear M;artin, one tip, grab the line together and then drill small holes in it, after the first plastic soldering, then solder again. Makes it even stronger, like rivets going through. No one in Germany repairs those scooters though. Even shops refuse to do though. Chinese made crap. Glad you do it.
Good to see you up & at it again Martin, great job on the scooter m8👍
Hi great vids mate,very therapeutic.
From Southend on Sea area.
Awesome man very skilled keep up the good work man❤
Wow. Absolutely amazing. I would never have thought to use zip ties to repair it. Why the heat lamp?
Love your videos on both channels. Good honest restoring of so many different things. Done with tools most of us have. I do though prefer it now your talking in these resto videos :-)
Just found your channel , a UK restorer I subbed 😏
Great job
great vid Martin turned out very nice atb Steve ..
Wish i seen your video before i redid my cracks just got a subcriber.aloha from hawaii
hello martin,ive heard your in hospital ,i hope you get better soon .i just want you to no we are all thinking about you and hope your family are all ok. me and my fiance think you and your family are brilliant . you and your boys remind me of me and my dad when we used to restoring thing together in the 90's.i just want to add the reason you dont never see me messaging you is because i struggle with reading and writing as i have dyslexia but let me tell you am always there watching all your videos. i just want to add my partner is writing this message out because as i said i am dyslexic and i wouldn't get very far writing it myself lol :)
Thanks William, No problem bud, i'm getting better so back to full strength very soon I hope.
Cheers
Martin
Lovely repair job. I’d love to take it for a spin. You are the bomb!💥
Great vid Martin 👍
Good job got the same bike same damage I’ll have a go to mend it.
Another cracking vid mate,looking forward to your up and coming ones
God bless you thanks....😊👍 Very useful....👌👍
Welcome 😊
Is there any thing you can't fix. 😎 & your videos have really helped me out a lot thanks
Great vid! Nice job on the scoot.. love your channel
I wonder to have garage and tool like yours. but im to young to own it.. anyway nice repair sir
Well done. Does take practise doing the welding in plastic. I've done it before and it worked out fine, even burnt my fingers as I struggled with a car bumper wobbling around. I made more smoke than you appear to have here.
With that music...... I feel like I’m watching a Charlie Brown Christmas special.
Great job 👍👌
Very good job 👍
Nice job
I bought myself a set of Wera Alen Keys or Hex Plus. I rounded off a bolt with standard keys, and the hex plus managed to get in there and save my arse!
Available in Metric and Imperial. I recommend them.
Brilliant idea
Looks amazing
Thanks for sharing that
You, sir, are brilliant! Who’d have thought to use plastic zip ties and a solderer? Great video, excellent work, and you can bet I’m sub’ing. Thanks for sharing!
Nice work!
Great Job!
