Rusty Broken Oldtimer Scooter Restoration - A Time-Tested Beauty!

In this video, I restore a broken and rusty vintage scooter from 1969. More about the restoration: I decided to restore this scooter because I liked the retro design and knew from the beginning that this would be a very challenging project. I love projects like this. It was very rusty and broken, especially the wheels were full of holes caused by rust. The restoration process took about a month. Month in which I worked on it every day for a good few hours. The restoration process went smoothly, but I had trouble finding new parts, especially the 100mm spokes. Very few people make spokes that small, but in the end, I managed with the help of a very nice guy who owns a bike repair shop. On this occasion, I also want to thank him in case he ever sees this video. The wheels were damaged by rust and time, and I think I spent about half the restoration time rebuilding them. Printing the handlebar grips was excellent but challenging, but the 3D design was bought off the internet for only $2.46 and modified a bit by me to fit on this scooter. One day, I decided to leave the shop early and paused the print. This caused that ugly line you may have seen in the video, so I made another one. It was hard because I had almost finished the project and had to wait another 7 hours; that's how long it took to print one handle, but the wait was worth it. I also chose to paint the scooter as it was in the past. Someone over the original color applied the green paint. I couldn't leave it green because I would be violating the primary definition of restoration. I'm delighted. I even found an original sticker with the company's name that produced it. More about the scooter and the company: I bought it off an antique site for $39.68, thinking it would make a great restoration video and deserved another chance. The scooter was manufactured in the People's Republic of Poland (PRL) by the ROMET company. They closed the factory a few years ago, but the brand has recently returned to the market. In 1949, the largest Polish bicycle factory, "Romet," was founded in Bydgoszcz. To my surprise, tires, and tubes were produced by the Dunlop company. This means that Dunlop, a Western company, somehow managed to do business with a country under Moscow's influence, being a satellite state of the Soviet Union. Usually, this was rare in Central and Eastern European countries. I love how this oldtimer scooter turned out, and I'm glad I could save it from falling apart. and I hope you will enjoy this video, too! Now it's perfectly functional and can be used again!
