Scooter bodywork needed

I am looking for a good Vespa body expert in the SF Bay area- I want to restore all my project scooters to their original fit and finish – I am the mechanic who make things come to life but need a body man to make it look great !

Would be willing for a barter deal of some-sort!

A unique high performance P200 engine – direct air cooling !

I acquired this engine case a few years back and did not realize at the time what unique characteristics it possessed – Upon close examination I discovered the following:

  1. Air channel has been meticulously removed
  2. Cylinder ports modified for a high performance flow.
  3. Fuel intake area enlarged and ported
  4. Oil injector gear port closed off using high temp epoxy.

If you have any info on the origins of this case or what this may have been used for, please do let me know.

I am interested in building this engine to what it was designed for.

Project # 9 – 2002 – Bajaj Chetak 4 Stroke Yellow

I purchased this scooter as parts from a gentleman in Fresno, CA.  This has been a good learning experience for my son who put it together and then dismantled it again to do body work – condition look very rough but the body metal is strong – currently it is a techni-color but should be yellow when fully restored.

I know it is a waste of money to spend anything on a bajaj 4 stroke, it is a good learning experience using a modern predictable platform.
