You've Got To Laugh Haven't You?
News1 min ago
I've just purchased a vespa GS150VS5 for �700, it is all there but a bit tatty. Has anybody any idea how much it would cost (ball park figure) to have it totally stripped, frame straightened, re-sprayed, engine rebuilt and all put back together again at a scooter dealer.
A friend normally does all my work (on my 1980 P125X) but he is too busy and I do not want to take it to a dealer if it will cost the earth.
Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't even entertain taking it to a restoration garage the price will be scandalous! Just for example I am in the middle of restoring a 1958 vespa 125 and the running total so far excluding the cost of the scoot is �1900, and that with me doing all the work myself except the paintwork. And its not even finished!!!!
I would think that it would be in the region of about �3000 to get it complete and ready to go on the road. so not particulary cheap. I know this is prob not the answer you were looking for but unfortunatley its true.
Why not have a go yourself?
difficult to say its really up to you as to how much you spend, one of theis years scootering mags had a feture on Gs, the other thing to do is make contact with your local scooter club ( if you havent joined already) and talk to them. They will know local dealers sprayers ect, most local clubs are also listed in scotering Good Luck & enjoy
