bought this, can't wait for restoration

Nice.
Now GIMME!
I'm the restoration geezer round 'ere

Seriously though, looks a nice easy restoration project.
Does it run at all?
What's the history?

 

Thanks!
Its a honda pa50 camino sport 84.
Completely original.
3800 kilometers (380 Scandinavian miles)

After a carb clean it started immediately,
Good compression and very nice sound.

Registered for the first time 1984.

Registered for the first time on owner 03.12.1997
deregistered in 04.12.1998 and has been since.

 

Nice how much did you pay for it? Havent seen so many of those around

 

I was extremely lucky, 110 GBP (1200 NOK)

 

Ah nice, i got a free moped last month, a rmx 50 with a shed load of parts, do you find the whole new owner avgift a total con? How does it cost them 500kr to print out 2 bits of paper!

 

I dont understand your question?

 

It's a lot to do

 

i was on about the stuff you have to pay when you buy a new car/bike here (but yours is a veteran so dont think you pay it) omregisteringsavgift... its a total con, they charge between 500 and 1500nok to print out the registration papers with a new name on them...
i really dont like vegvesen can you tell?
but back to the bike, looks like you got a good amount of work there but not too much, ive seen worse for sure

 

The owner change is free, we did it on www.vegvesen.no.. omregistrering is also free because its a veteran

Its a lot to do. Im going to sand blast/glasblast almost everything. Frame, tank, fenders ++ and send it to painting, same color of course. I also going to buy orginal tank sticker and some other stuff from camino-parts.nl.

What do you guys recommend, powder coat or wet paint?

 

Powder coat for frame and wheels. It's tougher.
2k paint for the rest.
Clear laquer over the decals.

 

thats not bad at all, if it was in the uk you could poke fingers through the bodywork due to rust, its been fairly well looked after for a veteran moped.

these types of mopeds are usually found running on open farmers fields in the uk by younguns and left to rot away when they fail to work any more, all the fittings get bust off/ lost or trashed to .

 

nice but if you powder coat you will have to take care you get a good earth

 

I think there will be color difference if the frame is powder and tank is 2k. Tank and frame are very near each other.

 

Never! Why?

 

Dont listen to him, he doesnt know his elbow from his anus...

 

More than likely there will be a difference, but a contrast in colours makes things stand out more. It doesn't have to be a dramatic change in colour to attract your eye to the detail.
I've found over the years that it's the subtle things that make a difference.

 

Im guessing dipshit said something stupid the nice thing about clicking ignore on him cant see his stupid comments

 

You nailed it.

 

wheres my cake?
