(queries) The cost to convert a stock PX150 to a vintage lookalike

[flicks]

Hi guys I'm quite new in the vespa scene. here a few questions

 

How much to 'knock' the body to a vintage look alike?

Paintjob?

Which shop offer this service?

By the way, i do have some spare parts. VBB sidebox, VBB mudguard, VBB tail light, Ultraman handlebar, sprint fork. Is there anything I missed out? Planning to convert it to a VBB lookalike.

Pls advice.

Atleast 1500. you'll have to extend the chassis, panel beat the lip, weld the horn cast and make the legshield broader. not to forget you need 8 inch lug-type vbb wheels, hub/drum and fork. don't do it. it's never going to look 100% like a VBB and the money you spend on it cannot be added to its market value. I would keep it the way it is, the PX has it's place in history. keep it real.

i know it bro, my bike won't still have the 'step' like true Vespa 150 have. I thought of riding the PX150 first, get to know how vespa works before getting a sprint/super maybe by next year. Thats what a lot of people advise me to do. You should have tell me earlier, i've got the parts ready already. So might as well continue with my plan. Thanks for the information. Appreciate it

Its not worth it man, seriously.

And when people see it, one look will know its not a VBB,

and just MAYBE, some real enthusiast will think you're a 'poser'.

 

Just my view, cos that what my friend got after he did his up into a VBB.

But i think ultimately up to you bro, since you're the one riding it. Depends how well you want to 'fit in'. For me, i don't care about what people think. I like to mix n match stuff on my scoot to the point that you don't even know what it 'original' and what is reproductions, as long as i happy and proud of my ride, can already, just my 2 cents.....
