I give up !!

My brother is a partner at a moped shop in Bushwick by his apartment. For christmas he gave me the remnants of a 1983 Italian moped that I picked up earlier today. This will give me something to do while Im not working on my camaro. Im missing just a few things like a chain spark plug and carb. Im hoping to get it running sometime this week. I snapped a couple pictures of the shop and the bike. Cant wait for tomorrow so I can get started.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Nice, I restored a few mini bikes back about 8 years ago. I did a '77 kawasaki KV75 mini trail. and a yamaha '77 yz80d. I got them for free from a guy cleaning out his garage. They weren't full restorations, but I did change every bolt I could, re-upholster the seats, and did full paint and pinstripe job on both. The kv75 I had to purchase a newer style motor for, and the yz80d I was lucky enough to get running. If you or your brother ever get a junker that can be saved let me know. If its cheap enough, Id like to try my hand at another resto on a mini bike, moped ect. now that I am a bit older and have some better access to tools and supplies.
