It´s running pretty good allready and the framework is is OK shape. It has a lot of things to do before I could call it finished, but that´s ok. Your page is the best source I´ve found on this model so far and I think it helps me a lot during my rebuilt process. In Finland we have a system, that if a certain aged vehicle,ingluding cars and all sorts of motorbikes and Vespas,are restored properly and inspected by "museum inspectors", it´s possible to apply a museum status to the vehicle and get really cheap insurance for it. But that´s not the only thing that drives me, it´s the goal of having completely restored, original shape Vespa SS -67 on the road next summer! Thanks again! (why -67? Me and my Vespa were born on that year...)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504203385334572128.post-44164863886663263672007-07-23T19:01:00.000-07:002007-07-23T19:01:00.000-07:00Dan,This list includes only the finishing touches....Dan,<BR/><BR/>This list includes only the finishing touches. The engine is already complete 100% as is the front end. So those parts are not listed here.<BR/><BR/>The SS180 is a rare bike and to replace that specific engine is not too easy. A brand new 150cc engine is about a $1,000 and a rebuild can be done for under $650 on avg. Weighing out when to replace an engine or rebuild is based on a variety of factors beyond cash -- ie rarity or purity of the bike.<BR/><BR/>The books I use are parts books available for free download from www.scooterhelp.com. <BR/><BR/>I also have a Hayne's Manual, but it's not specific to the Vespa SS180.<BR/><BR/>JeremyScooter Couplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01681184597919873387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504203385334572128.post-82683388423036902842007-07-23T07:00:00.000-07:002007-07-23T07:00:00.000-07:00this is cool, I don't own a scooter and don't have...this is cool, I don't own a scooter and don't have immediate plans to but I am a sucker for any kind of documented process and find it really interesting. <BR/><BR/>So, does this list represent a full engine rebuild? Are there somethings that can be left alone? Is there a point when you "cut your losses" and just get a new engine? Forgive my ignorance.<BR/><BR/>Is it possible to list any books you are using during the restoration? Are you even using books, or just the help from another person who's done this before?<BR/><BR/>Sorry for the blabbering on, nice work, cant wait to see the whole process..<BR/>danDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15245282363188330435noreply@blogger.com
