Change of colors

I pulled the chrome and silver parts off and painted up some of the original parts. The front fender is now not a bundle of cracked fiberglass and the gouges in the headset top are gone. This isn't expected to be the long term color, but it's good for now. The black is metallic with a little bluish tint. All the white parts are still a mess. There is at least one coat of rattlecan white on the various parts along with different colors of primer.

Borrowed parts

With the TV200 getting SLOWLY restored, I took some of the body parts and put them on the TV175 for now to spice things up. Silver Special side panels and a Silver GP fender along with some chrome bits shine up the 175. We took it on the POLALO ride (Portland Oregon Loose Association of Lambretta Owners) for a 50mile blast through the hills east of Portland.

We started out in the middle of Saturday Market Downtown.

And ended up in Estacada.
As soon as the 175 parts get repainted, they're going back on where they belong and the chrome bling is reserved for the 200.
