1952 Vespa Allstate Restoration Blog

I found a 1952 Vespa Allstate in a barn that had 200 other bikes in it. It took me all day to get the guy to agree to sell it to me. It went home in my truck. I am going to try and restore this really really really old Vespa. I am no expert. Hopefully this will be interesting and informative. I will try to update frequently and stay on topic.
