- Another day on villa. In this video, I show you how I repaired the brakes on my 40-year-old Piaggio Ape, a three-wheeled vehicle that is so popular in Italy. If you enjoy this video, please like, comment, and subscribe to my channel for more videos on Our restoration. Thanks for watching!
Rest for a few days, Alla! You obviously are sick. You worked so hard the past year!
Hope you feel better soon ❤ Happy Ape has new brakes 🛻
Precious girl, do you have any idea how this grandmother, and I’m guessing many more of us around the world, have prayed for those skimpy brakes to keep working? Some of the trips you have taken in Ape Maria filled with heavy loads of gravel and rocks! How did the brakes ever stop 🛑 in time? A WING AND A PRAYER!
I love seeing more details of Ape Maria. It was such a miracle when I found the exact replica model of her for the diorama I built. The model had so many of the original details that only that style of Piaggio Ape had that year; right down to that crazy color of paint! The frame for cargo ties behind the back window must have been added after market because I had to add that separately.
Just to think that vehicle has been on the road since 1984! Someone must have kept her in a garage for most of her life!
I hope you feel well tomorrow. Your tea might be just what your immune system needs. ❤️
Good to see that Ape is getting some attention as she has been a very busy bee! Hope you feel better and have more energy for gardening on the weekend. 💐
Your friend can do everything! What a nice man.
Get a good rest!🫶🏼
Wow, what a beautiful starting shot with your camera.👍
SO glad Ape's brakes are fixed! Sending healing prana to you! 🙏🤗
Love how simple the Ape is built, easy to fix.👍❤
My first car was a little Bellett, my brother restored it for me. It was a 1964 model. My brother still has it, and many others, as I had too many kids and couldn’t fit them in the car 😢 one day I’d like to be able to afford to get it fixed and back on the road. Old cars were built well 😊 I have fond memories of helping him bleed the brakes ❤
I hope you warmed up Alla and did not catch a cold! Glad you are safe in the Ape now😅❤
Get well , rest up 😊
Take care Alla hope your feeling better soon
The temporary spot for the turtle looks fun!
Hope your feeling better soon Alla😘
Sending You healing ❤️🩹 Blessings and I will say a prayer 🙏 that you feel better 😘 soon Alla
Thank you for posting Ape videos. I am in America, NY City, with the exact same Ape, 1984 P501 Yellow! my clutch is very difficult but I am working on it like you. Thank you. x
Awww 😍I hope you enjoy your ape very much!!! My clutch is also very very difficult to slide…sometimes it requires two hand to change the gear 😂
Yes two hands. Haha same. I have to keep trying. You are like a professional in your videos. I will keep you posted. Thank you again for the inspiration. ❤🛵
Remember when you started with your garden just how bad it was, hard to picture it now.❤
I understand how you are. You are driven and feel guilty if you indulge yourself in relaxation.
But you must not let yourself get run down. Enjoy your rest.
You really must get the leaks fixed before the winter really sets in
Get well Alla 🤗 you look like you've caught a cold.🤧 Take care of yourself. (Also just in case you've not got one, don't forget you need a Carbon Monoxide detector up on the ceiling above your log burner)
Very nice! I have an Ape 501 too, a super Vehicle! I have an Ape 50, and an Ape Calessino 200, and Vespas, A Virus😂, ...Greatings from Germany,Bavaria Robert 🍀😎
Ahhh 😻what a collection!!!
Sometimes you need to rest. You have been doing a lot of work. Good to take care of your ape. Did you fix the leak in the roof of the ape ready for winter.
Feel better soon Alla:)
Good Job 😉
We repaired our metal shed roof with waterproof Flexall tape. Two trees fell on it and put holes in it. I also just fixed my greenhouse roof with clear Flexall tape. Check it out for Ape. It really works well for leaks.
Get warmed up soon Alla. ❤
Hope you feel better soon sweetheart,loved watching you pump the pedal with your foot xx
I wonder where Benjamin will be placed. I'm also intrigued to find out where the big lion will go too. Get well soon Alla ❤
Sorry to hear your not well but you have been working so hard to move in you achieved so much in such a short time inside a nd out,2 gardens and inside the house i could hear in your voice in last 2 vlogs you were not well or very exhausted,your body is saying slow down
😊😊
Unusual video!
Keeping Ape in safe condition is important with cold and wet weather coming. I'm thinking the three seat sofa is much more comfy for snoozing by the log burner. It may be needed all winter?
❤
...and the best thing of all when you are cold is HEAT from the FIREPLACE inside your home.
We got snow ❄️ this morning in the Mountains 🏔️ of New Hampshire but now it is melting
Why not just upgrade with the new parts you bought for the Ape? I don't understand the light...put a new cover over a rusty old part? And you might want to apply some protective cleaner to the vinyl on your dashboard soon--it will prevent it from cracking. Not expensive, just schedule 10 min every other week & 1 hr clean/maintenance, etc for your vehicle every month---automate it on your calendar. It is the only way I keep up w/ things like this.:-) I do love this Ape, she has done such a great job for you guys.
Do you have a friend who does welding!? That would fix the leaking. Didn’t Sergie do some welding? Then there are like decal material they use for custom detailing that you could put on roof top if welding looks rough and cover over! Paint would work too contrasting color for roof would work!
You can use brake fluid to lubricate rubber, just make sure not to get it in the paint.👍
Glad you got your Apa fixed, for your safety and to keep those yucky fluids from leaking out onto the ground and washing down into your beautiful lake.
Alla have Sergie weld the window where it leaks.
😄Alla's welding skills now better than mine, and you'll see it in her video tomorrow (spoiler spoiler )
@@sergio.ilol that’s awesome 😎
We're you pointing at the Fiat Panda, or the truck?😂
BONETTI 4x4 truck ❤
Why don't you try putting clear silicone on the leak across the inside😢
Alla you can use gorilla tape on the inside and outside where the roof leaks
Armadillo????
His name is Benjamin
@@sergio.iAdorable
:)
Your garden looks better right now during the summer it looked overgrown, you had to many planets, you need to make it more organized
i think it’s an insult to the Mechanic to say you can do it yourself next time.
Perhaps the nice man will just feel pride that he's such a good teacher that Alla can feel confident that she can tackle the job next time.
