I have bought a rigid-framed Puch Maxi N with kick-start (apparently)... According to the frame number, it was produced in 1981. The following is some pictures of my attempt to re-shinify it.
This seems to be the only picture i managed to take before the dissassembly.
Got everything disassembled
Atlast! A nice, warm spring day :)
All the easy bits of paint removed from the frame. Luckily, the rust is mainly on the surface
Nice and shiny
Some of the tricky bits dremel'd and hand-cleaned
Hartfelt uses science. It is super effective!
My buddy Gustav doing the painting
Cleaning some of the scaffolding
Fucking paintstripper, how does it work?
The frame getting its first coat of paint
The engine could use an overhaul too..
Nice thick coat of corrosion-preventing tectyl
Just a few bits and pieces left...
Once again... I fail at updating... The engine got an overhaul, but I think I managed it without taking a single picture... >_>
Currently, it runs brilliantly, apart from the exhaust that doesn't quite make clean contact with the cylinder, resulting in sliiiiigtly too much noise. (It does make the cyclists move out of the way, though ;)
I need a new front fork now
I got a new front fork, that didn't fit, so I did a hack job... again...
Look away for two seconds, and suddenly... spray-on white walls >_>
I've now got both low and high beam, but I'll need a lower wattage bulb

Farewell, my trusty steed
