Hello to everyone
this is the story of my ugly bike, bought for 500€ in not working conditions and became in few months of hard work a pretty (I think) some kind of Brat-bob:

This is about the actual condition, but until the end of the summer, I'll upgrade some little details that now are overlooked.
I'll gradually post the pics and descriptive parts of the mods (my job is very time-consuming), so be a little patient. The journey has been both hard and funny, so I think that topic will worth a visit now and then... This not because I think that my bike is super cool, but I'll post about some interesting solutions that solves some common problems of modifying this model.
One last thing: please be comprehensive with my poor English; I'm Italian and technical terms are a little hard to learn all in one time.
Story started here:

As you can see, the situation wasn't very good at all... Every single part was rusted and/or dirty, but, at least, the bike was complete. Only one footrest and the exhaust seals were missing.

Engine was blocked, reasone of the low price tag... I never liked easy challenges; with a bare idea of necessary efforts and patient, I accepted it. Mileage was less than expected, it must have been a simple problem and I decided to take her home with me. I still was in love!

This is the very first episode of the series... I'll post asap the second part: "welcome to the garage and find out the hell of problem with the engine".
