Clean underside

July was a slow month.  Summer weather finds me outside more than in the garage.  But still collecting parts and moving forward.  Today I finally finished cleaning all the grease from the bottom of the scoot.  I have been using GOJO hand cleaner which is gentle enough not to harm the paint or the primer but tough enough to get the grease really loosened up.  With several applications I was down to a good clean surface.

On the bottom of the floorboard I applied a coat of Penetrol and in the rear wheel well I sprayed some rust treatment to address the very light rust which was forming in the well.  All in all it looks very good.  I still need to finish cleaning the upper side of the scoot and complete the rust removal process.  The last few areas of rust are large surface areas and tricky to submerge in Rustoleum.

I am almost done rebuilding the front suspension and expect I will have photos of that part of the scoot very soon.

Underside of the floorboard treated with Penetrol.  This is solid metal perfect for the rebuild.

Inside the rear wheel well.  All cleaned up and light rust is treated with a rust treatment prohibitory spray.
