My SX200 Xmas Prezzie ***Finished***

[Freight10]

Hi All,

Before the other forum crashed i was listing progress pics of my xmas present, so in light of the fact that i get to collect it tomorrow from Colin "garageartwerks", i thought id start the thread again in stages as before....

So this is how i brought the scoot, just a pile of boxes..

Then i had the engine Aqua Blasted....

Next was the sandblasting and a spot of welding to reconnect the frame hoop...

How come I can only see half of each picture on my computer screen?

[Toddy]

Looks a good project that how come the Frame loop needed re welding on ?

Hi Guys,

First, Toddy...the loop came detached from the frame, no idea why, i didnt ask to be honest, just wanted to get the project started...

I collected the parts from Colin, all painted and looking pretty, sorry but no pictures at the moment because im rebuilding at a mates who lives a long way from me, and i went and left my camera there, but suffice to say the build has started and going well, ive chosen a modern twist to an old theme...

So the paint is near to Lambretta white but is actually a pearl white that changes to blue in the light, the blue on the panels i opted for a high gloss finish with metal flake..looks great..

Also a small amount of airbrushing on the kick start panel only...

The engine is currently being built, ive gone for a "charlie tune" mugello 225 kit, gory exhaust and a whole shopping list of other parts, needless to say the wife is very impressed with how much you can buy for £50 these days

Im really pleased with the outcome and i will get some pictures uploaded as soon as possible.

Great thread - lovely to see it progress from what you had, to what you have now.
Could I ask how much the blasting cost, on the casings?

Steady - that may come across as you wanting to spend..........

Hi wellerchap the blasting was £45 from a guy in canvey..

Hi Guys,
Sorry for the delay buy ive finally managed to get some pics...hope you like them, sadly with the lack of sunlight in the garage you cant see the pearl blue in the white paint very well...















Hope you like them....not finished yet, but not much longer hopefully

Hi guys,

Scooter & Engine now completely rebuilt, (no pics of the completed scooter yet)

but the engine has a 225 mugello kit, power jet carb, 6 plate clutch and gori exhaust....





Just got all the reg paperwork back from DVLA and will be riding it to Mablethorpe next month..(might be slow though, i have to run it in..

More pics of the finished scoot ASAP....

[Rich Oswald]

Muggy's don't need runnin' in, just thrash it

Looks great,
