I got the scooter back together and was able to go for a test drive. Still need to finish some small tweaking and put on the last remaining pieces. It was great to be able to get this back on the road.

I finished rebuilding the front hub and attaching the front fender. Things are finally coming along.
I got the scooter back from the painters. It looks great. The lighting in the basement doesn't do it justice, so I'll post some better pics of it when I can get access to a larger shooting area. In the meantime, I am about finished with the floor rails. The two sides are done. Now I am just waiting to get the screws back from the platers to finish the middle. Overall, it wasn't too bad of a job. Just takes some time and patience.
I will be putting in an order today for a new seat cover to replace this sad thing. I emailed these folks pictures for an estimate, but never heard back, so I'll try replacing this myself.

Of course I couldn't pass this 1958 Vespa GS 150 VS4. Found this for a good price. Everything is pretty much all there. I think I am missing four parts. It has the airbox, but is missing the shroud, which do come up from time to time. Unfortunately, it is missing the legshield trim, which could be a bear to find, so if you know of any please let me know.
Well this is pretty much done. I've been running it all over town and don't have much let to do. It has been a great learning experience and glad that I took the time to do all of it except the paint. I have just a couple small parts to track down, including original headlight assembly and badge, but I'll pick them up when the opportunity arises. This winter I'll get the chrome redone, but for now I am going to just enjoy it.
