Yes, it's way more fun to assemble clean shiny parts than to dissasemble
grimy ones and find out parts are worn, rusty, etc. The decals worked
out great. They make the original Guzzi silk-screened logos on the tank
look kind of poorly.
Actually I think the Vespa may very well be next. We found a source of
new, Indian-made motor-transmission assemblies that will drop right in
(ours came with no motor/trans/rear wheel). So I get to strip down the
"tub" and take it to the painter for a coat of "polychromatic blue".
One bump in the road are 2.5 Honda 500 interceptors which I am trading
into for very little money. If I can get one of them together and
running easily, I may move that in front of the Vespa.
