Not a scooter I know, but thought I's share some pics of my wifes finished van.
Full engine rebuild, chassis stripped and undersealed and respray by the father in Law. My wife used her dress making / seamstress skills to re-upholster the seats, roof lining and carpets on her sewing machines.
Talented lady, all her own work.

BTW: Had to get 3 Mini cooper bumpers and chop a 6" section into the rear one before chroming and the wheels are powder coated in V-chrome. And the plastic bolt on side skirts have been moulded in to appear part of the body work.

Hope you like.............

What a brilliant job, a real labour love gone on here, I bet you all had many hours of burning the midnight oil to get it to the completed item, good on you and a clever lady your wife, most would stand back and direct from the side line. All the best, Owie.

K on the number plate means it's most likely a 1993, and it will be a 660cc engine at a guess.
