Rust repair on "Clam-shell" rockers, console, console shelf, and trailers. Typical 914 corrosion and rust-out exaggerated by previous owner's poorly placed A/C compressor and condensor.

With current trends in fuel prices, we are seeing a lot more air-cooled scooters showing up at the shop. This 50cc scooter saw many "mild" modifications to make the rider smile.

Some clients order high-performance engines from builders from different climates, this example is having its 44 IDF carb/2275cc components tuned to this area and climate based off
calculations, bench testing, and aggregate  averages of compiled research data.

This bus is getting the full lowered suspension treatment. This is the "before" pic.
