I don't get it... you forsake e30 for rusted moped? Is this the next hipster movement?

My e30 is fresh. It just got $500 worth of parts. I was just saying brakes are next.

Welp, time to take a break from working on the e30 (even though it needs some fresh brakes) to build up this badass machine:

It's a 1978 Batavus Starflite VA II Moped, M-48(cc) 2-stroke engine.







It will be getting completely disassembled, cleaned, sanded, painted/plated, and reassembled with fresh hardware.

More to come...
