Hi Everyone,

Just bought a 2003 Vespa ET2 as a winter project. I've been looking for one since I went to Italy earlier this year and I finally found one in my area. Currently not running so it is going to be a winter project. Hopefully, by spring I'll have it up and running and can enjoy zipping around town. Depending on what it needs I might convert it to a 70cc. Also a proud jeep owner.

Looks nice for a winter project and welcome! Change those tires, belt and hoses if they are original!

I would recommend either getting rid of or replacing the broken front reflector. Don't try to glue it onto the bike.
Other than that, that's a clean looking ET2. We've got a 70cc kit from Polini that I'm sure it would respond well to.

Sterling: Warm welcome, and congrats on the ET2. Sounds like a cool project, and I think you'll get lots of advice and encouragement here.

Nice looking ET!!

I just put a fresh 70cc Malossi kit on mine, still breaking it in (90 miles so far) and it is quick. Jumps off the line and I hit 49 GPS the other day. Does have a LeoVince exhaust as well. These 2 strokes are fun
