This was one of the first videos I watched of a vintage Vespa restoration and I was immediately obsessed and wanted one do one myself. Now 2 years later I am working on restoring my own ❤
A most amazing demonstration of skill, integrity, and commitment. He is like a man in love with a beautiful woman whom he wants to honor, respect her beauty, and never let her down or disappoint her. This kind of devotion is rare beyond measure. This was like watching Rembrandt and the other masters create magnificent and timeless art! And no phony facelift (paint job)!
das ist m.E. eben genau keine Restaurierung sondern einfach nur ein wirklich extensiver Service, der den Roller wieder auffrischt, ihn aber nicht seiner Seele beraubt. Tolle Arbeit, schön gefilmt!
There are people who put mud/grease/oil on top of vehicle body to feel like it's untouched for long time then dismantle it clean it and assemble it back. They call it as restoration. On the other hand this guy who tries to keep originality at its best. Hats off ❤️
Thanks a lot! I have also seen videos where motorcycles were deliberately covered with leaves and branches in the forest to make it appear that they have been there for many years. To then "restore" them.And with the Vespa I had first considered to leave it further in the condition in which I found it to put it so on the dry shelf.
If anything they are the two-wheeled version of the FIAT 500.... The BRITISH MINI is wonderful but has nothing in common with a legendary Italian Special Vespa 50
I’ve just found a PX125 being pushed into a crusher so I saved it and with a little tickle it started after 10 years of not being moved. I haven’t got your skills but I’m putting back on the road with dents and all 🤘🏾 Great video 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Awesome "resto"...a lot of elbow grease and patience goes a long way to make an old girl look like a good-looker again! Great work! Thanks for sharing. From Canada, Rick
Klasse! Auch die Balance zwischen Reparatur und Restaurierung finde ich gut. Weniger ist hier Mehr! Schade daß der Part fehlt wo das kaputte Stück Leder im Sattel repariert wird ,- das war genau das was ich gerne sehen wollte ... Gute Arbeit! Thumps up!
WOW - sUPerklasse ART (Kunst) und WEISE einer Zusammenfassung dieses (in meinen Augen) einzigARTigen Lehrfilmes über eine Rekonstruktion eines Weltkulturerbes.... 👌 ❤️
That patina on a paint just gives it soooo much cool looks... At first I was thinking "what, no new paint wtf??" but at the end I'm so glad that it isn't repainted, that would spoile everything. What a wonderful video, so much effort in to making it... Thank you, it was such a nice thing to watch during my covid struggle alone trapped inside...
So eine perfekte und detailverliebte Arbeit... zuerst schön anzusehen. ..und dann beginnen die fast körperlichen Schmerzen als sie wieder mit dem 50er - der ja nur der Platzhalter für einen brauchbaren Motor ist - zusammengebaut wird. ..Wie perfekt wäre sie in diesen Händen mit einem 138er...für mich als alten Vespaschrauber aus den 80ern kaum zu ertragen..
Mio padre aveva la stessa vespa!!! L'unica differenza è il fanale, che era tondo. Ma anche il colore era uguale! Mi veniva a prendere a scuola nel centro storico di Roma! Tutti i miei amici restavano a bocca aperta!
Tolle Arbeit. Video technisch wie auch am Fahrzeug selbst. Ich hätte sie nur neu lackiert bei dem Aufwand, den du betrieben hast, aber du wolltest sicher den alten rostigen Zustand beibehalten. Hat ja auch was. Gute Fahrt!!
vederla smontare pezzo per pezzo si vede che questa vespina era un capolavoro di meccanica! Ecco svelato il segreto di tanto successo! Va bè la linea iconica; l'eleganza delle forme! ma la sostanza, sopratutto nella cura dei paricolari era proprio tanta!
hi I come from Indonesia 🇮🇩 I really like vespa or scooter of the many time lapse challenges that in my opinion are the best taking a video that fits perfectly and is also simple 💯
Awesome restoration mate! With times moving faster, younger people are forgetting the past! Keep up the great work, long may it continue to restoring past classic beauties - Greetings from Oz 🦘🌏🇦🇺✌️
Speaking as a younger person... i would kill for that Vespa! (Many young people I know would.) Sadly, since it's my only means of transportation, I had to opt for a modern Vespa, but might add a classic one sooner rather than later :)

i just found my vespa px 150E a 1996 that was waiting for me to pick it up one day, now is mine, after many years we found each other and the love just started, i did the same procedure you did and im not going to do any tuning, just want to keep it original as it came from factory
Everything is awesome! In my opinion, i will change the tires.....30 years + old.... are not exactly safe to ride :). It's just my opinion. Awesome work!
That's the way to do it, never mind pristine paint job and a load of new parts, originality is everything. Well done my son. Who are these 61 idiots, what's not to like?
Nice that you see it that way. Many see it differently. I have already disassembled many Vespa scooters. But most of them did not need it. I regret that today. This Vespa never even came close to a thought of stripping it. It is in wonderful original condition.
@@NilsHomann In my case it was needed. Bodywork was reasonably OK, paint was kinda ugly and not red metallic, so I had to do it. It is way nicer now :)
nice video. i loved that you neutralized the rust only and didn't repaint and kept it all original...except that seat cover. I hate those aftermarket seat covers. I would have stitched up the old one and reused or gotten a repro like the original. Otherwise I LIKE.

Klasse das die Patina erhalten wird und nur technisch aufgemöbelt wird. Top Arbeit!
Love how they have left the original paint 🎨 , brilliant rebuild

Tolle Arbeit, schön gefilmt!
Danke!
Like the way you did this. Kept the age, made it look nice, and restored functionality. No fake new paint etc.
Thanx!
Its very tough to retain the old paint job rather than repainting it on the whole.....great job bro ....love the original body👍

One of the finest restorations iv seen kept it original, I hate when people change the paint and add piles of new shit on. Weil danke
This is an amazing project. Thank you for sharing and also providing the list of items used in the renovation.
Hat Spaß gemacht sich das anzuschauen.
Preservation done at its best. Stunning work.
Lovely work on this! I am just about to begin working on a V90 I bought in 2008, sold, and have purchased back. Great inspiration for me.
The finish made this build even better!
Vespas are the two wheeled version of the Mini. simply mechanics with wicked styling and the looks to die for, great video.

Superb, oldschool restoration.

The skills will come. Always! And all tasks become less and less time-consuming. And also the time you have to take will be also less and less.
damn.. for 30 years it's really on a good shape.. nice found

Besser als jeder Liebesfilm. Danke
I love that 3 piece rim design. It makes it so much easier to service!
Wonderful to watch. Such talent.

I’ll never buy anything new again 😄👍🏻 great work
beautiful,loved the no power tools work
Stunning and nice to see you retained the original finish
WOW.! cool.... greetings from Indonesia
You left the patina instead of re-spray. Mechanically sound machine with all its history still intact. Great work.
Good job, beautiful ❤️

Awesome find.
You are my inspiration in my yt cnel gaes
Great Job Thxs for sharing.

Congrats my friend...Great job!!!!!

Buena restauración conservando la pintura original y la mayoría de las piezas de fábrica. Lista para un museo 👌

now 246 Idiots! Amazing, am sure not many of them can replicate the restoration work.
Great job! Many congratulations 👍
Thanx !!!
I am Vespista also, I loved your work and how you kept the original patina. In my case I did full sandblast and refinish, but still looking decent.

Gute Arbeit wie immer.
Danke fürs sharing Nils.

I agree: a conservative restoration is in many cases the best solution.
Nils, well done
