    I got a few more parts back from the painter this morning.

    Front & rear hubs + glove box door.

    Also, the guy I originally bought the project from had the front & rear spare wheel carriers, so I had both painted, just in case.

    I'll have a few more part to collect in 10 days time, that lot will include the brake light housing, air scoop, rear running boards, front mud guard & the horncast.

    Then a few weekday free that I'll get the side panels & the front panel.

    Im using the Byron Bay Blues Festival as an incentive to have it up & running as I want to take this up to Byron as my secondary transportation.

    before i paint hubs etc (castings) i spend ages rubbing them down smooth, gets a lovely finish when the alloy castings are de-burred and the pop holes are filled with bondo. like plastic the finish when two packed. you should have went for scootRs front disc set up, they make you stop on a dime,.lambretta front brakes dont work, the whole thing is impossible to make work properly, due to size or hub on 10 inch wheel and the weight of of a very heavy (steel bodied) lambretta a fat mid 50s rider, ,,,screeeeeech, crunch back of car at lights usually,. i can do front wheel stoppies on my disc.. looks well cool when pulling up at scooter club

    My name is Barry Smyth, I live in Sydney Australia and my day job is as a search marketing evangelist. I run a series of conferences in Asia Pacific dedicated to educating companies on how to optimise web sites for search engine traffic and also how to maximise your return on investment from paid search advertising products like Google Adwords.

    I spend quite a bit of time with my wife two children in the limited spare time I have & when not with them I:

    - In the process of restoring a Lambretta Series 3 Li150

    - Read a lot

    - Enjoy mucking around with Mac’s

    - Enjoy photography

    - I am now getting into video editing on my Macbook Pro using iMovie so that I can start making use of all that video footage I have taken over the years

    - Currently teaching myself how to use Final Cut

    As an avid Star Wars fan I get into the books and movies whenever I can, I just finished the EU series “New Jedi Order” and am thoughly sick of the Yoozang Vong. My favoirite EU series is the Republic Commando series by Karran Travis, I am currently reading the Dark Nest trilogy.

    I’d love to have the barrysmyth.com domain but some guy called Barry Smyth in Singapore has the domain, oh well.
