I sat about for a week or so thinking about the restoration. Restoration can actually be defined as returning something to it's former glory or look. But this restoration was a little different, the Vespa was being restored and transformed. Time to seek guidance. First was to see what would be required to get the frame and panels ready for painting. I spoke with my mate Paddy Duffy who is well known for his spray painting skills, in particular his work on motorbikes.

The scooter would need a complete strip down, to the bone so to speak. Next stop would be to speak to someone who has experience at working on scooters. I joined the online forum of the Vespa Club of Ireland, there I made contact with Steve Staunton. Initially I was looking for a second hand front mudguard and Steve had one for sale. We agreed a deal and I went to meet to pick up the part. We got chatting and I told Steve all about the plans and ideas for my Vespa. Steve offered to call over to my place and take a look. The plan was looking good again.
