I know it looks cack, but i cba to carry a helmet on the train and round college

Im not really a drill expert so i didnt know it was going the wrong way, i found out eventually, found a bettery drill bit and all was fine!

Yes i know pikeys will get it if they try hard enough, but theres no harm in making it harder for them

Fork gaiters are NOT and MOT fail.

Are they not?

Brill

Anyway, i fitted my seat lock because it was touch dry and i was bored - so i thought i may as well.

Great sutff - very tidy example!

Just a thought - but if I wanted to steal your fuel, I would probably not waste time syphoning it out when i could lift the bike into my white swag transit van and get a free scooter with my stolen tuppence of fuel

Maybe a breeze block on the back would help the anti theft system

Ok sorry - honestly it's lovely example of a melody - It'll look great if you get those wheel cleaned up and sorted too.

Yes, but you cant be too safe .

And anyway, bike parking is free in a number of car parks in town in which i beleive theres possibly something to lock it to.

So a sturdy chain and im sorted .

Still a myriad of stuff to do, and its gunna cost a fortune. Im properly strapped and im gunna have to start selling stuff off just to get myself on the road .

It still seems so far away

Leave it parked up and hope someone feels sorry for you and sends some money your way.

Seems like youve spent a lot of time/effort/money on this to not be on the road.

Get some pictures up!

I might be interested in some bits. We'll see.

.

As far as getting it going is concerned, make sure you clean the plug REALLY well. Thats what stopped mine starting.

Haha Started 2nd kick with abit of easy start lol. Cluch is burnt out plus needs a new belt..Mines a 1983 Mini Melody 'yellow'

[Down&Out]

Sounds cool to me

Was gunna say, if you where stripping it, i'd have had all the panels off it. But mines older and a different style altogether, so not to worry

Good luck with it! Get a thread up .

[Sir Cheat]

Have you had the side casing off where the kick start is?

[Sir Cheat]

Here's some pictures of mine..





and here's the clutch !!!

Nope , sorry.

I like that shape of melody though, prefer it to mine actually, but thats no worry.

[Down&Out]

Righty.

New tyre fitted:


Thankfully dad had tyre levers so he could do the job without needing to pay some spotty chav to do it.

New tax disc holder:


And finally have a new plate, need some new bolts for it though.



I just need to fit a new cable, new brake lever and fit the seat cover that came with it, and then the moped itself will be done
