At first glance, you'd think this video couldn't be that interesting. But then…!
I won't spoil it for you. Well, beyond these pictures, that is:
Lots to do here.
Chromography but slime covered nastiness
Cleaning, overhauling, and refinishing key parts
Where do you even start. Ugh.
Stripping it all down.
Buffing it out. An art form.
Ready? Okay, here's the video embed:
Resto?
Having spent occasional time slowly restoring Sandy (or family’s ‘71 Sunroof “bay window” bus back to a Cal-style VW bus has been a dream task, and it’s not finished yet. With still several tasks to complete, it’s hardly finished. Steel vehicles being exposed to the elements of the Pacific Northwest is no joke and rust is one foul beast. But that’s an entirely different post.
Also, for those unfamilar with restoration, there is a lot more work involved to accomplish this task than is included in this video, so much process was cut out. Restoring a vehicle is a ton of work.
Oh, also!
Also, speaking of scooters! This one is electric from Retrospective Scooters:
