Broken Rusty Oldtimer Scooter - Restoration

In this video I'm going to restore a very rusty and broken scooter from the 1970s.
I've bought this scooter almost two years ago at an online auction for $40. I really liked the look of it, especially the design of the aluminium casted wheels. I knew this one would be a very challenging project because of multible reasons. I knew I need to replace the tires and handles, but I had no idea back then how to make them. It took a lot of research in terms of resin and rubber casting and also the help of my friend @misterpatina , which has organized the polyurethane rubber for me. It was pretty difficult to get the right hardness in the right color. There was also the rear fender missing, which required metal shaping to make a new one. I've never done that before, but after a successful test piece with aluminium I was optimistic to get it done and it worked out absolutely perfect. One more thing that scared me was the chrome plating of the handlebar. I knew I can't chrome plate myself, as I heard it's super toxic. Then the idea of nickel plating came to my mind, it has a slightly different color than chrome. It has kind of a yellowish goldish touch. After doing some test pieces, I knew this was the way to go. To get an overall uniform look and also rust protection I decided to polish and nickel plate all steel parts.
This project was the by far the most difficult one to restore. It required so many new techniques, that's why it took me 50 days in the workshop to complete. I really put my heart into this little scooter and in my opinion it turned out absolutely fantastic. The combination of the grey and blue paint together with all the shiny nickel plated parts and the new casted creme white tires and handles come together very nice. I'm very happy how it turned out.
I hope you like my work and the video.

The word 'restoration' is just inadequate here. By removing casting marks, reinforcing weak spots, and putting on a better coat of paint, he's making these items BETTER than they were originally, while still keeping the aesthetic and feel of them the same. Hats off. This is astonishing workmanship, as well as beautifully filmed and edited.

There are two lines of though when it comes to restauration: "Be as faithful to a new original as possible" and "It was only new once!". The former tries to recreate exactly what it would have looked like from the factory. Some consider this a form of forgery, others swear by it. The latter tries to make it the best it can be while staying reasonably faithful to how the overall impression of the new item was. It's basically "make it how it was" vs "make it how I *remember* it".... Being a bit of a romantic who always remembers things better than they factually were, I'm squarely in the latter camp.... and so, it appears, is My Mechanics.

Best restoration yet. This must have taken weeks. Tires, Handlebars and then a *brake*. Just magic. True mastery.

OK.. This guy is a freakin' genius!! I've been watching him for over a year now.. & he always amazes me!! No one comes close to restoring items like him!! The amount of skill, and dedication he puts into these projects, and video's is on another level!! When I get a notification that he posted a new video... I get goosebumps!! Outstanding work my friend!!!

I have nothing to do with mechanics or tools or even preservation of anthics. But man, this is not restoration. You use your tools, small and big, like a painter would use his brushes. This is art. It is so soothing to watch. Every time I want to calm down and think I just put one of your videos. I am captivated. I love them. A real master.

I'm absolutely addicted to this channel, I've gone down a rabbit hole! It is so fascinating to watch you restore objects (and oddly satisfying to watch you make new screws and bolts hah!). This is truly an art of its own, you have an artist's hand sir.

I love the re watchability of these videos, this is my second or third time watching this one. This restoration is the gift that keeps giving. when I think he's finished with all the parts, there's more. also, why do they call it an E clip? because it's shaped like an E. I think it looks more like Magneto's helmet.

You know this guy is a god level restorer when he even makes the molds for the tyres and grips and even they look like a work of art.

@WilliamSteppan 3 жыл бұрын

Right!? He could have made the handlebar molds from the same material as the tires (looked like delrin), but he made then out of metal, with chamfered edges, and all for a one time use. Insane amount of attention to detail, My Mechanics is the King Midas of restoration.

Alien gets caught later because of the lack of understanding of such human concepts as "cutting corners", "just slap some paint on it" and "it's fine as it is".
