Modern Vespa

Okay...not really...of course.

I am attempting to bring my 64' back to life though. Please help.

Who do you recommend for sandblasting, bodywork, and paint in California. My GS has very little rust, however the leg shield needs body work (dent at the Vespa badge on the edge) and a dent on the engine cowl. (I would have include some pictures, but I am currently overseas at the moment).

Also, the original Siem headlight chrome ring has a dent (it looks like a garden tool fell over and smacked it back in the day). Is this something that can be repair (welded & re-chromed)? Or, should I just replace it?

Also, Powder coating rims, wheels, fork & associated pieces, and spare wheel cover, Any thoughts?

Thanks so much MV community for the help.

(Sorry for the basic questions. I am certain this has all been covered in past MV threads)

Just to be clear, I am NOT converting my GS into a garden planter. I am trying to restore this old Vespa for the road.

Again, any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.
