vespa rat rod update

Got engine back together with new top end ( polini 177ccc kit )

This photo shows my positioning of the regulator and cdi unit close to the junction box on the engine allowing for free movement when the engine goes up and down .     Decided to go the rat rod route as not many around yet !                                                      

After wire brushing the bodywork with a wire brush I have applied 4 coats of clear lacquer to protect from rusting but to preserve the bare metal look , I have left all the dents and patination .
