Bucket of Bolts

I bought this Vespa 125 TS off of Craigslist more than a couple years ago. It came disassembled in a bunch of boxes, but all the parts appeared to be there. It sat around in the garage for a long time, but I've finally gotten off my butt and started the rebuild process.

I know little to nothing about engines, and thought that working on a simple 2-stroke would be a good way to learn. I don't think this will be a complete restoration, as the bike is in bad shape and parts aren't readily available. The 125 TS is was only sold in Europe, apparently has a top speed around 60, and shares the same body as the Rally 200.

Wish me luck.
