Once upon a time many many years ago 'naive PK, which was beautiful and hopeful of place in a window of a dark and gray shop Piaggio.
The little girl was waiting in vain for a master who was taking her away with him 'to give her love and attention making her run around free and happy in the streets ..... Friulian
The years passed and our hero begin 'to understand how life turns, the boss is transformed' into evil ogre and soon found himself placed in a dark, cold shack left to his dark and tragic fate .....
But at that in the dark 'where he was immersed, a door opened' and a strange glow gave her hope lost ...
A niece Orco bad to fetch firewood within 'in the small garage, open' windows and was curious to see emerge in a wheel from under a dirty cloth.
Put the basket that occupied his hands and jerked 'the old and soiled blanket and read ...... Vespa.
He fell in love 'and immediately ran to his grandmother to ask for an explanation of that corpse now forgotten for years.
her grandmother saw the happiness 'of niece explain' that was the bike of his grandfather who used to go to the fields that had been forgotten in that wreck and told her that her husband had been shelved because it was printed on the column entrance house ....
The girl replied that it would be nice to get up and maybe see you again rode through the streets .....
Said than done!
Small IP KEI was removed from its location, a nice bath to clean the thousand layers of dust and see the various damage suffered during the years.
Arrows nonexistent, saddle scuarciata, shield board, slick tires, friezes and barrel bags, look for rust etc etc.
The niece did not lose heart and with the help of his brother who improvised 'restorer of early motion' to redress the scooter ....
There!'m Here 'to make history!
Pi KEI was dismantled completely and the brothers began 'by ignorant on
... you say to paint stripping with paint remover ... noooooo
with sabbiatuta ..... noooooo
with the flex and the hard iron ...... NOOOOOOO
But with so the flex, but with the disc of sandpaper!!
A mess!
The girl saw that the work was a skiff and went slowly asked me if I gave her a hand please ....
And the chicken on duty that you said what you think !!!!!
Okay, do not worry revive the 'new life.
In front of a girl who asks you for a restoration of his Vespa with 2 large and lustrous eyes who can say no!

I wanted to mount the written earlier in the shield, then start to reverse all the boxes in search of it but nothing, no!
I did not want to spend more money not to go over budget, then .... HOME MADE ..... I look in my warehouse is an inscription that could no longer 'fit or not .... the choice falls on this ...    The healthy donor was found. An old sprint now defunct for years, giving the body the small Pi Kei After removing the writing, the clean eliminating the fouling of the old paint. A fine spray of black-sharpen the edges inside and outside Then a beautiful polished mirror. This is the result. operation was successful! The patient has not rejected the organ

This is the original top box that mounts the small Pi Kei ... was broken so I chose to mount the other model, the previous one .... to do this transplant I had to make some changes

1 - The new top case after he had dodged the claxson, so I had to move it back before the nose .... This is a test ...

2 - another change was made to the nose in plastic .... PK had the "vent" in the shield, is devoid of the sound hole in the nose and with a drill bit so I made from Ø1.5
