123 to get its third life

[Lambrettaman]

I bought my 1981 300TD in 2006 with a salvage title. It was wrecked before it was mine for sure but still straight and in good condition, especially the paint. All three of my children drove it as they moved through high school. 2 of them without incident; 1 with. My daughter tried to beat cross traffic one day. Almost made it, too. She got clipped in the left rear tail light and bumper. Yes, they are tanks.

It goes into the body shop Monday to be sorted. I found a part online and they cut out about twice as much material as we need.

Anyone have a bumper or bumper mounts for me?

My son already bought me a lift gate for fathers day.

Thanks for the Craigslist tips. I hadn't thought of that.
