Lambretta rebuild – polished parts

Posted by Barry on Jan 23, 2012 in Uncategorized

I decided to go through the time consuming process of polishing all the aluminum parts myself, took a long time to do but the end result was very satisfying.

Photos do the time I put in no justice!

Lambretta Li150 rebuild, more progress

Posted by Barry on Jan 23, 2012 in Uncategorized

Had a few hours in the shed yesterday & managed to get a few little jobs done.

I wrestled the petrol tank into place with the brand new stainless steel tank straps, what an effort that was!

Plus I installed a new lock into the Tool Box door & then installed that into the body.

Lambretta rebuild – more parts from the painter

Posted by Barry on Jan 7, 2012 in Uncategorized

I got a few more parts back from the painter this morning.

Front & rear hubs + glove box door.

Also, the guy I originally bought the project from had the front & rear spare wheel carriers, so I had both painted, just in case.

I’ll have a few more part to collect in 10 days time, that lot will include the brake light housing, air scoop, rear running boards, front mud guard & the horncast.

Then a few weekday free that I’ll get the side panels & the front panel.

Im using the Byron Bay Blues Festival as an incentive to have it up & running as I want to take this up to Byron as my secondary transportation.

Lambretta engine rebuild – 99% finished

Posted by Barry on Dec 24, 2011 in Uncategorized

Apart from a few little odds & ends the engine for the Li150, now a 175 is now finished.

Rear hub still need to be fitted but that is still stranded at the painters & should be ready a week after Xmas, fingers crossed.

Might need to tidy the man shed up a little over the break.
