Our Project: ZX50
« on: October 06, 2009, 03:08:40 PM »
On the 3rd my wife and I and had a very nice dinner for our anniversary.  The 4th is the actual date of our anniversary though.  Here's what we did on the first day of our third year in wedlock. 

This is a key to a happy marriage folks! (one of many!) ;)





Jenn removed all the panels, sanded all the old plastics, washed them, and then applied the adhesive promoter to the panels.



Damn, I'm putting on a little too much weight.  :(


We moved the parts into the other side of the shop so we could spray the black pieces.





A few "rough fits".  The panels aren't perfect.  A lot of them were really busted up.  Julius (allyeardboardsports) from the Super 9 forum generously donated a few parts that were different color than the original blue, so we decided to paint it all to match.

We've got a few goodies in store for this one too.  It's pretty much all style though, no engine tuning on this one as it's going to be sold when we're done playing with it. :)

Hope to be able to order the rest of the parts by the 15th or so.  Also did a quick trial-fit of the parts, just to see how it's going to look:

The silver/black looks REAL sharp!!! My wife did the same here, sanding& priming. I didn't think she wanted to ride it though. Now she has my second nc/50 to tear about on. Also congrats on the anniversary. Keep 'em com'in

That did turn out real nice!  Wish mine looked that sharp!  It would be nice if I could get my gf to help me out!  Sounds like you definitely got a keeper!  ;)

Thanks guys!

Here's the latest.  We're waiting on a few more parts to come in, and then hopefully next week we can place an order with Stadium Yamaha for the last few bits.  The CVT cover, rear rack, and possibly the front forks will all be polished to a mirror-like shine. :)

Stadium Yamaha is the best source, or Kymco parts on line (one word) is another

I am not sure about shipping to Lithuania. I use a Debit card for all my on-line shopping. That way I only have the purchase price to loose if something goes bad. Here is the link to kymco parts on line     www.kymcopartsonline.com

Good to hear from you again Areo.....it's been a while.  As we've come to expect, excellent photographic accompaniment to your scooter projects.  Nice job!

That was an older thread from Areo. Dievis re-opened it looking for the plastic
