Vespa Fix: April 2010
http://vespafix.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 21, 2010. My First LIVE Auction For a Vespa. 1958 Vespa GS150 VS4 with Meyers Aircraft Sideca. So the scooter community is not that big. I first heard there would be a 1958 Vespa GS VS4 with Meyer sidecar up for. About a week before the auction on craigslist. I followed the link and I knew immediately when I saw this red GS that it was not the first time I had seen this scooter. First off red is not the original color as all. GS150 should be metallic grey. I had first seen this scooter on.

Vespa Fix: October 2009
http://vespafix.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 7, 2009. I just bought this Taillight on ebay for $60 on a buy it now auction. I was lucky to see the auction as it was only a few hours old and I got it. I really love the acorn style of this light and how good it looks on the rounded Vespa backside. This should polish to a bright chrome look and I can't to see that. I debating weather to hire a shop to do this service or could I buy an aluminum polisher and do it myself? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Collecting, restoring, riding, .

Vespa Fix: Laser Metal Bracket
http://vespafix.blogspot.com/2010/11/lazer-metal-bracket.html
Friday, November 12, 2010. So here is a sketch that Eric. Drew on wax paper. This is hopefully the metal bracket that we will use to help straighten this crooked scooter. We then went and had John cut out this bracket with his amazing water laser cutter. I can't believe water is cutting this steel! The steel is about 1/2" thick. Labels: 2nd Avenue Scooters.

Vespa Fix: Crooked Vespa
http://vespafix.blogspot.com/2010/10/crooked-vespa.html
Friday, October 22, 2010. My original intentions to starting this blog was to share my experience and mistakes in restoring my 1961 Vespa GS Cushman. Yesterday I received some bad news. I meet Eric Lussier of 2nd Avenue Scooters. This is a GS150 Cushman! The rare 1 0f only 500 in the USA and the World! Where am I going to find another frame? I know IF I can find another GS 150 VS5 that will work but I really wanted the GS Cushman version. Labels: 2nd Avenue Scooters. November 4, 2010 at 12:28 AM. PARTS I...

Vespa Fix: September 2008
http://vespafix.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 28, 2008. After restoration done by Speedo King. I thought the restoration was going to be more white on white. I was surprised to see it so grey but I think the MPH version of this speedo is this color. I will need to do more investigation. Notice below is my exact speedo that is the KPH version and it is much more white on white. While I do like this restoration I just want my restoration to be as original as possible. Sunday, September 14, 2008. Saturday, September 13, 2008. On ...

Vespa Fix: Vespa GS 150 Fuel Tap
http://vespafix.blogspot.com/2011/02/vespa-gs-150-fuel-tap.html
Tuesday, February 8, 2011. Vespa GS 150 Fuel Tap. When I got my project Vespa GS 150 it came without some of the original parts. One part in particular is the glass fuel tap. Mine had the typical large frame fuel tap that is available at any scooter parts store. I have recently been on the hunt and I have come close but still do not have the original yet. The large frame fuel tap from Motorsport Scooters. Here is another shot I got from an GS150 restoration I saw at 2nd Avenue Scooters. Malossi parts, ma...
