Ladies & Gentlemen
Had a few minutes with the Bambino on the weekend; taking stock of panels & parts required. (Perhaps it would be easier to list the parts not required!)
Panels - all around base require serious attention, if not replacement. Air vent grille at the back is shot too - from my research I believe these are only available second hand? Could someone shed some light on this?
Window channels are shot - rusted. Anything rubber has perished. Exposed rear lights - internal fittings went to powder when touched.
Took wheels off, removed the shredded tyres from rims - would you believe all four tubes still inflate & hold pressure - even with their obvious repair patches plastered all over them. Thoughts on the rims? Surface rust, some pitting in areas, suffering quite a few dings in 3/4 of them, spare went to the dump - rusted out. Have the facilities to heat & beat the others back into shape. (Metal fabricator in the family).
Also wanting to go to a tubeless tyre, so probably need to be looking at new rims regardless?
Rear emblem also shown, what are your thoughts on the crack & rust? Repairable? If so, how would you approach this?
Sorry for asking so many basic questions, but I have had a good dig around on the Internet & have not found the answers.
Cheers
