Broken Rusty Oldtimer Scooter - Restoration
In this video I'm going to restore a very rusty and broken scooter from the 1970s.
I've bought this scooter almost two years ago at an online auction for $40. I really liked the look of it, especially the design of the aluminium casted wheels. I knew this one would be a very challenging project because of multible reasons. I knew I need to replace the tires and handles, but I had no idea back then how to make them. It took a lot of research in terms of resin and rubber casting and also the help of my friend @misterpatina , which has organized the polyurethane rubber for me. It was pretty difficult to get the right hardness in the right color. There was also the rear fender missing, which required metal shaping to make a new one. I've never done that before, but after a successful test piece with aluminium I was optimistic to get it done and it worked out absolutely perfect. One more thing that scared me was the chrome plating of the handlebar. I knew I can't chrome plate myself, as I heard it's super toxic. Then the idea of nickel plating came to my mind, it has a slightly different color than chrome. It has kind of a yellowish goldish touch. After doing some test pieces, I knew this was the way to go. To get an overall uniform look and also rust protection I decided to polish and nickel plate all steel parts.
This project was the by far the most difficult one to restore. It required so many new techniques, that's why it took me 50 days in the workshop to complete. I really put my heart into this little scooter and in my opinion it turned out absolutely fantastic. The combination of the grey and blue paint together with all the shiny nickel plated parts and the new casted creme white tires and handles come together very nice. I'm very happy how it turned out.
I hope you like my work and the video.

Can we just stop for a second, and admire the fact that he actually MADE NEW TIRES? The level of dedication and attention to detail. Just amazing!
He made new bolts! ;)
Not only new tires, he made new moulds for them and the handles! Moulds that will probably only be used this once. Not even bike nanufacturers have moulds that nice ...
When he says "I make new ones" everybody was like "eh? Really?"
...by machining the negative molds. That part was pretty mind-blowing
@@Andrew_Sparrow He always does ;-)
He just casually made an intricate 3 peice aluminium mould for hand grips for a vintage scooter, and I struggle to not bite my own fingers while eating chips.
lol
He faced off and beveled the ends of the mold! The mold!
@@glenadolph Right!? my mechanics is to sharp edges what Mommie Dearest was to wire hangers.
You just need to make an intricate 3 piece aluminium mould for hand grip for chips. Don't worry.
Don't eat chips - it's not healthy ;)
You literally made it better then it was originally, the cast marks on the wheel and the welding that wasn’t smoothed out, you remade so many parts, you are truly amazing at your craft.
Glad to hear that, thank you
Made mass produced products better is not actually that hard mostly, you have to open and finish pretty much everything you buy today.
q2qg
I have watched dozens of restorations by 'my mechanics' and this one is my favorite so far. The variety of techniques, the problem solving, the care, and attention to detail... excellent.
Wow, thank you!
in addition, original design is respected. It is just a refinement of traditional design methods. amazing.. no modifications really.
yeah this one is special
He came back when the world needed him most
Glad to hear that :-)
Okay... Do we all agree to say it's the most incredible "I make a new one" serie ever?! That guy is incredible...
Let's face it. The reason we watch these videos is not only the craftmanship and skill/knowledge displayed, but also because we don't have near the patience of this man. We barely have enough patience to watch the edited video. But the wheel and tire really made me smile. You are one amazing and thorough dude
You can do it too!
I watch because I don't have his wealth.
@@arootube You can fix a lot of "worthless" tools with a few screwdrivers, an adjustable spanner, sand paper and lubricant. Once you can fix tools you can get for free/cheap you can start to make/fix more advanced tools. And never forget that for many small items, a lathe can be substituted for a cordless drill, a set of small files and a whole lot of patience.
I watch many "restoration" videos here on KZhead, in many cases the end results are either just a cleaned up object that is sort of functional or just horrible! That is never the case here! The end results HERE are something that looks new or even better than what was produced. ALWAYS AMAZING!
Thank you so much for your support :-)
Yea, he just made new ones

Yes, He IMPROVES the device restored, impressive. (the only note point is that is more expensive, but it's not the case).
My dad is a retired mechanical engineer, and because of his age, his memory is not what it used to be. When I show him your videos, he always rememberes his student years, learning how to use many of the same tools you use in your projects, and tells me all this funny anecdotes. We really enjoy watching your channel!
How awesome 👍
I'm not crying. You're crying.
Im graduating in mech engineering and they don't reach that stuff anymore 😂 i learnt some basics from high school but not even close skilled as this guy.
There is a reason you see comments like "almost as good as My Mechanics" on other restoration channels, you set the standards for the whole community mate!
@TerraTN He put fifty days into that thing. That's several thousand euros worth of working hours. It's insane and I couldn't be happier that he did...
С удовольствием смотрю все видео и не устаю восторгаться мастерством и умением автора! Профессионализм на высшем уровне и аккуратность даже в мелочах! Снимаю шляпу!
Я тоже!
Поражаюсь как он всё придумывает и выходит из ситуации
@@Tagiir Это называется когда у человека есть мозг и руки золотые😂
Making the rubber parts was INSANE! I was shocked when he made the moulds for the tires but the aluminum handle bar grip mould blew me away!!!
I love how every couple of months or so My Mechanics comes down his mountain to flex on other restoration channels and show us mortals how things are done proper :))
Perfect comparison, ha-ha.
😁👆🏻

At this point, it goes beyond restoration. It becomes art. The product, the video editing, the amount of intelligence to do what he does, and the patients. I wish I could unwatch this video so I could rewatch it again. I am in awe.
I was going to say the same. The actual end product almost doesn't matter because the beauty of the process is so incredible.
I rewatched whole segments of this video.
Could make this a reality show!
There are two lines of though when it comes to restauration: "Be as faithful to a new original as possible" and "It was only new once!". The former tries to recreate exactly what it would have looked like from the factory. Some consider this a form of forgery, others swear by it. The latter tries to make it the best it can be while staying reasonably faithful to how the overall impression of the new item was. It's basically "make it how it was" vs "make it how I *remember* it".... Being a bit of a romantic who always remembers things better than they factually were, I'm squarely in the latter camp.... and so, it appears, is My Mechanics.
I had no idea you could make rubber wheels from scratch. That's so cool! Such a beautiful job on this piece!
Thank you! 😊
Every time he applies for a job and is asked what skills he has he just answers "yes"
@@maggs131 he actually lists the skills he doesn't have
@@Juiceboxbrian must be the shortest list on earth.
This was the most satisfying video I have come across from you. Absolutely amazing. Let's take a minute to really appreciate that this man literally used the old scooter as a template to basically make a brand new scooter that was even better and stronger than the first.
Thank you very much, I really do appreciate it :-)
The word 'restoration' is just inadequate here. By removing casting marks, reinforcing weak spots, and putting on a better coat of paint, he's making these items BETTER than they were originally, while still keeping the aesthetic and feel of them the same. Hats off. This is astonishing workmanship, as well as beautifully filmed and edited.
Is there anything you CAN’T do? This is the highest level of craftsmanship!
Um,... Proper welds? 😋
But I think he's trolling us with the wonky welding ever since he had the switch on the sandblaster fixed.
Motorize it!! :-)
I know he doesn't go in for music but "You're the Best" from Karate Kid is pretty accurate.
Ever seen a watchmaker?
The best restoration channel on the internet. You take care of all the small detail. Amazing work as always.
Wow, thank you!
Started binging these again. This man needs merch that says "It was beyond repair... So I made a new one"
This is without question the finest restoration on KZhead that I have ever seen. Well done.
I absolutely agree
me too
Imagine having all those knowledges.. This dude just made rubber tires and handles at home! Respect!
much appreciated :-)
Thank you for not including the final product in the thumbnail. I love being surprised! Also love the pace of this. I sat through the whole thing with my niece without speeding it up.
I had to rewind it a couple of times, my mind was swimming in awe.
Glad you enjoyed it!
lights,action, camera, audio, edit, edit timing, equipment, filmography. A+.
"Ah, I guess now he'll buy some new tires. Wait...HE'S MAKING NEW TIRES?!?" Every time I think I've seen all the techniques, you bring out a new one. Well done!
His flexing at this point... He will have to buy... I sayed. At another point I though, he could just make it new... but he repairs the part and makes a new one for the pair.
Right on!
Just buy a new tire sheesh
@@nopers2223322 "jUsT bUy A nEw ScOoTeR, sHeEsH". That's not the point.
Amazed me too and he made new handgrips
The fact that he does everything with pure dedication and passion makes it even more worth watching
Thanks for watching, much appreciated
Восстановление резиновых деталей, никелирование и изготовление утраченного заднего крыла - просто потрясающе!
No expense has been spared in this restoration. Cream of the crop. Watching you make the rubber handles was probably my favorite part overall. Phenomenal camera work and editing as well.
Thank you very much, I really do appreciate it :-)
Often imitated, never duplicated. My mechanics is the cream of the crop when it comes to this art. There’s no one better at doing restorations than this man. Hats off to you sir. Amazing
Dear Packer Backer. Not only there is no one better at doing restorations than this man... no one even comes remotely close.
Honestly, the fact that he MADE wheels instead of buying new ones doesn't surprise me This man is unstoppable
Huh 110th like and I am the first reply
tyres*
@@sacredgeometry thank police
i make new one
A bee in a boat nice...
I've been watching your videos for some time and there are no words to describe how beautiful these things become after restoration. For me one of the most interesting ytube channels.
Glad to hear that, thank you very much
Wow! This new before bed routine I found out is fantastic. I watch one of your videos and then I sleep like a baby! Incredible work, everything is just perfect!
Thanks for watching, much appreciated
I agree with you, Winston. It's so relaxing watching a master craftsman performing at his peak. Making the old, new again, and all's right with the world.
Watching you build your own tires and handles is a video that plays in my head whenever I get tired of a project and start thinking about cutting corners. It inspires me to get back to work and not settle for mediocrity. Thank you
Nice to hear that, thank you very much :-)
Excuse me, but this is not a restoration. This is a freaking work of art. I am amazed each and every time by the level of your professionalism. It's simply mind blowing.
Yeah, when you make something better than it was originally, you aren't restoring it, you are remaking it into the best version of itself.
Totally. Always the best when he says I make new ones.
I’m speechless, I especially loved the wheels and the handlebars! Amazing work, well done and God bless you!
Glad you enjoyed the video
The biggest disadvantage of knowing your channel is that other Restoration Channels just don't make a buzz anymore. You use your skills very skillfully, show patience and thus attention to detail. This is the main thing that distinguishes you from others.
The main difference I've noticed between this channel and others is that he actually cares about painting the restored parts their original colors. Every other channel paints everything black or gold to make it "sleek" or "modern" when it really just looks bland and tacky
@@trevorminton6084 he also fixed some issues that the original design had, making it much better than even the brand new version of it, like in this video for example, he fixed a lot of plays to the point he can scoot silently while the original design would sound like old window creaking even while it's brand new(had a similar scooter like this before in the past and I know it made those annoying sounds even when it's brand new)
@@oniplus4545he’s a master at his craft for sure😉
The mold for the grips is a work of art just by itself. Wow. Impressive.
Yeah, I was thinking I'd want to keep it on my desk just to play with
@@paigeweber5492 Same!!
you should make a few of these bikes now, and sell them to us. they would make great christmas presents.
@@tostyjoost for the amount of work they would cost 1 thousand each
I first thought that you would order the grips from ebay. I was wrong. enjoyed it. Amazing. 😮
I think very few people will ever fully understand the level of detail, work, and design that went into this. I'm incredibly impressed. You made your own tires, with molds you designed and machined yourself. Beast mode, man, BEAST MODE!
Lets not overlook hand broaching flutes with a custom tool into a 3 part mold to cast the handlebar covers. That just blew me away.
@@ElizabethGreene No kidding. I'm just stuck on the dimensioning and calculations needed to create the molds and replacement hardware. As a person who does it from time to time with professional software and CNC machines, it's mindboggling to do it by hand.
Это шедевр!!!Так надо везде работать!!!! И для всех, тогда бы жизнь была нормальной и без всяких проблем и войн! Дай Боже тебе Благодати и здоровья!!
Arguably the best restoration channel on KZhead 👍👌
Thank you, I'm glad you like it :-)
What's arguable about it ?
@@mikek9297 the fact that there's lots of restoration channels. Surely you've heard that expression before.
When the world needed him most He made a new one
This dude's quality control is on another level. Every single piece is perfect, even if you'll never see it on the end result.
What sets your channel apart is that you make your projects BETTER than new. Very impressive machining.
Very impresive indeed
This is a work of art, this looks like it was restored for a museum, a lot of work and talent put in there.
Glad to hear that, thank you
Finally. We waited for so long. This is really awesome. All those Details. Unbelievable!!!
Thank you very much, I really do appreciate it :-)
"the brake pedal slot is way too big... let's fix that" "step one: make it bigger" 🤣
Subscribed. I love the program here. The recipe for a build like this is as follows: 1. Restore the object to much higher than the original standard of workmanship. 2. Fix any design flaws without scrapping the entire concept of the original. 3. Use the original components wherever it's reasonable to do so. 4. Plate or paint everything so it won't rust again. 5. Make everything removable so maintenance is easy. 6. Make every new component, including hardware and rubber parts, yourself. I dig this program and I am here for it.
Glad to hear that, thank you
My friend, there is a reason so many people call you one of the best restoration channels (if not the best) you are so talented, you are a Master at what you do!
Glad to hear that, thank you very much
This is one of the handful channels where I watch the videos from start to finish without skipping or fast forwarding. It’s mesmerising. Amazing work!
My Mechanics eventually: "The submarine works with an uranium reactor but this one is worn out. I'll make a new one"
I make new one*
Underrated comment 😂
Anyone selling uranium fuel rods?
@@xaraxenYou think he needs to 'buy' them?
I have been following you from the beginning and all your works I have watched more than once and every time I watch I feel proud of what is presented to me by the creation of your ingenious hands.
Wow, thank you
You have got to be one of the most ingenious, intelligent, talented, resourceful restoration masters on KZhead! You have fantastic standards for what you renew vs restore. Such a pleasure to watch your work!
My mechanics finally posted again. Today is a good day.
Enjoy :-)
And mere hours apart from Hand Tool Rescue reinventing new old wrench. Fine day indeed
so I bought a lottery. it's really special day for us subscribers.
Wow this was a huge job. Never have I felt, "okay, now we're ready for assem- THERE'S MORE PARTS!?" so many times.
I’m genuinely impressed that you always know how to put everything back together correctly! And that’s just the tip of the iceberg of all that you do.
If in doubt, I have it all on video ;-)
All your tools and work spaces are so clean. It makes watching your videos all the more enjoyable.
Glad you like them!
You know that someone is a perfectionist when he is removing casting marks on the INSIDE of a tire. Great work!
This man has master's degree in patience.
I used a lot of it on this one ;-) thank you
And not just in patience😀. What mastery skills!
I wish I had your skill to restore the past’s beauty. Truly gifted.
Best restoration yet. This must have taken weeks. Tires, Handlebars and then a *brake*. Just magic. True mastery.
Many thanks for watching :-)
This channel is so far beyond typical restoration content, it seems like a difference in kind, rather than degree. There's just nothing close, and I don't say that to dump on other resotration channels. This guy's a freaking Michaelangelo of restoration. It's actually insane.
For me it's his patience with the materials and the process. It's a thing of beauty watching his craft
Thank you guys very much, i really do appreciate it :-)
This is the best Editing and Restoration video on KZhead 🤩🥳, i love it😍
Hi sir love your channel too
Hello
The best, right after you Tysy 😉 thank you very much
It's always neat. Good enough!
I think it's tradeoff of quality vs quantity. He doesn't make that many videos, so he can focus a lot more on each of them.
You do amazing work, my friend!
Only this man could pull this off. Hats off to you my man.
3:15 Oh... the sand blaster button is fixed...I feel a little empty inside now
I need to use it more often so it might break again ;-)
@@mymechanics you make new one.
I love the fact he uses his previous restorations to aid him in his future restorations, vise, press, etc.
Indeed. And now he has to restore something that requires the use of a scooter! 😁 Could be interesting.
Я думал, мастер хотя бы колеса купит. Но нет! Он делает колеса САМ! Я в шоке! Ну хоть подшипники не своими руками 😅
My mechanics is top notch, cream of the cream, some of the highest quality YT content ever. A pleasure to watch in every way. In a world were everything gets swapped instead of being repaired, you truly make this place a better world! S‘ isch eifach nume krass guet, gratuliere!
Nice to hear that, Vielen Dank
You know this guy is a god level restorer when he even makes the molds for the tyres and grips and even they look like a work of art.
Right!? He could have made the handlebar molds from the same material as the tires (looked like delrin), but he made then out of metal, with chamfered edges, and all for a one time use. Insane amount of attention to detail, My Mechanics is the King Midas of restoration.
Need to hang onto those molds.... Never know when another scooter will turn up!
Can you make a small ventriloquist version of yourself to ride the scooter and haunt the dreams of children?
I’m already convinced he’s some kind of mechanical ventriloquist machinist created in a secret government lab and not human
He does do some great restoration and fabrication of parts he needs. PS , i really liked the clicky wrench patent re-creation . HTR .
Even Hand Tool Rescue is a fan. Damn. That pretty much says everything about mymechanics
I second this motion hahaha
😂😂😂 I love that idea...
That was an incredible restoration. I was impressed by the amount of custom tools you made!
Glad to hear that, thank you very much
The fact that such a beautiful video has been viewed almost 20 million times gives me hope for humanity
What I like about this guy is: - attention to details - patients - CLEAN HANDS 👍
dudes restoring something and you care about clean hands. go watch a clock maker or something my guy.
I agree that clean hands says something positive about the guy. “CB” go watch “Dirty jobs” on Discovery or something...
Чувак, изготовление колес и ручек это ахренеть Какой новый уровень, ты нереально крут!!!)))
ваще рукоблуд
снимаю сАмбреро, причом стоя!!! БРАВО
The item. The disassembly. The refurbishing. The new parts. The tools. The approach to each item. The sound. The craftsmanship. The versatility of your skills. The editing. Brilliant.
My favorite comment is “I made a new one”. Spectacular finish. Even better than the original!
Glad you enjoyed it! 👍🏻
OK.. This guy is a freakin' genius!! I've been watching him for over a year now.. & he always amazes me!! No one comes close to restoring items like him!! The amount of skill, and dedication he puts into these projects, and video's is on another level!! When I get a notification that he posted a new video... I get goosebumps!! Outstanding work my friend!!!
I agree with you on this 100% 👍👍
When you have the right tools, and the time, and the knowledge, anything is possible. An extremely talented individual.
My mechanics: - These rubber parts are worn, I make new ones. ALL OTHER restoration channels: HE DID WHAT NOW?!
Same thing I was thinking! :)
I thought he'd just go to a bike shop and get some new tyres and rubber grips..
@@DanTuber Right? Or maybe apply some silicone compound or something just to make 'em look a bit nicer. But no! He made brand new ones, unbelievable! What's next? Mining iron ore and building a smelting and steel fabrication works in the corner of the work shop, together with some ball bearing manufacturing machinery ?? 😉👍
I was expecting commercially bought, even gas filled tires. For handles, same or 3D printed pieces with TPU or something. Didn’t expect molding for the handles after the tires!
@@akersjon278 I think primitive technologies is already doing that lol
All the right tools for all the right jobs, plus a shedload of talent to boot. A pleasure to watch a master at work 👌
You made the tires...YOU. MADE. THE. TIRES! This was an absolutely amazing restoration! BRAVO
Thank you very much!
Me- “man it’s been a long time since my mechanics posted a video...” my mechanics- “I make a new one. “
He’s been working on a scooter all this time.
I have nothing to do with mechanics or tools or even preservation of anthics. But man, this is not restoration. You use your tools, small and big, like a painter would use his brushes. This is art. It is so soothing to watch. Every time I want to calm down and think I just put one of your videos. I am captivated. I love them. A real master.
The amount of times watching his video has helped me calm down from a panic attack... I am so grateful. One day when I can afford I will JOIN.
Thank you so much, glad the videos help you!
Once again, I am gobsmacked by the craftsmanship.
Note to self. "Never upload same day as my mechanics" This was truly outstanding, you set the bar every time you upload! Thank you for all the effort you put in making these high quality videos for us!🙏
Это просто великолепно! Смотрел как детектив, на одном дыхании! А когда мастер(точнее, волшебник) сделал своими руками покрышку для самоката, я вообще обомлел! Вы просто гениальны!👍👍👍👏👏👏
You make me proud to be human and share this beautiful planet with you.
I found your channel a year ago and I was hooked the first video I watched. Your production value is amazing! I love how you don't use stupid music and bad editing. It's just pure satisfaction !
Wow, thank you!
Agreed. The (probably not actually simple) simple classy editing style really makes the quality of the actual workmanship stand out
Es ist immer wieder erstaunlich, mit welcher Akribie und Perfektion dieser Mann arbeitet. Allein auf die richtigen Ideen zu kommen, auf welche Art und Weise die sich stellenden Probleme gelöst werden können, ist schon bewundernswert. Diese Ideen aber dann auch mit einer engelsgleichen Geduld und Perfektion bis ins kleinste Detail umzusetzen bricht alle Rekorde. Danke für deine wunderbaren Videos.
Yes, it's really wonderful to see the ingenuity and creativeness of the craftsmanship. The end product is just stunning! I love how smoothly it rides now!
nicht zu vergessen, der Video-Schnitt ist auch nahezu perfekt.
You have an amazing amount of talent and patience. Was blown away watching how you made the grip moulds. Great work sir
Thank you very much!
From looking like it is ready for the junk yard...to brand new...Amazing...............
Your editing was as beautiful as the restoration itself! Spectacular! 👏
Thank you very much! I can't wait to see your next upload 😁👍
THE WORLD OF RESTORATION HAS UNITED TO ADMIRE MYMECHANICS 😭. Rescue and Restore was the first youtuber I thought of when I saw what was being restored.
You 2 are the restoration youtubers that take the longest time to upload videos, but... It is soooo worth it!
I wish the welding parts can be filtered or screened somehow. Hurt my eyes seeing bright flashes too often.
Our twin idols 🤘
You turned a mass produced toy into a FREAKIN MONA LISA!!! 😲👏
Thank you so much :-)
I’ve watched many restorations on many other channels. You’re, by FAR, the most precise, most comprehensive and best craftsman there is. Other channels can not compete. Some have tried (including trying to copy your name) but do not come close to your technique and skill.
That's got to be one of the best scooters in the past.
This is not just restoration... This is ART...
I loved when you also made the tires! Amazing!
And the grips! Amazing! :)
Yeah when I saw that he was looking at the old tires and showed they were cracked I said to my self no way he's going to say I'll make new ones! And well whata you know. That it fitted perfectly is beyond me how he made that mould! I was just floored...
Dudes like a tool maker from the old world!!! Amazing!
I'm absolutely addicted to this channel, I've gone down a rabbit hole! It is so fascinating to watch you restore objects (and oddly satisfying to watch you make new screws and bolts hah!). This is truly an art of its own, you have an artist's hand sir.
I love how you made a special case for plating the handlebar That in itself is already a small crafting project and IT'S JUST A TINY PART THAT ISN'T EVEN SHOWN HERE You amaze me time and time again - kudos!
