When I proposed to Brenna, in lieu of an engagement ring, I gave her this sweet ’58 Vespa VBA 150. Oddly enough, she accepted my proposal. She didn’t seem to mind the engine was seized and basically the whole thing was hammered. I bought it off my friend Joe, who found it in someone’s garage in Salt Lake CIty.

Part of the deal was I’d have it running before we got married. Well, we got married over 2 years ago, and I’m finally starting the project. I did the body work and had some help re-welding the leg shields. I did a pretty crappy job, but fortunately the painter was able to finish.

Brenna just got a new Scion XB and I thought it’d be fun to have the Vespa painted the same color, Stingray. I’ve kind of run out of time, so I’ve handed the project over to my friend Josh at Beehive Scooters. He’s doing the final build.
