My project is the Vespa. By a combination of working on it and spending far more than it will ever be worth I made it have 18 horsepower instead of 5½. This is fun but disastrous at the same time. The brakes are still small 1960s drums, and there is no upgrade that will persuade the crank oil seals to stay where they are supposed to. They were marginal at 5½ BHP to be honest.
The project now is persuading it to ever fucking start.
