I have bought a rigid-framed Puch Maxi N with kick-start (apparently)... According to the frame number, it was produced in 1981. The following is some pictures of my attempt to re-shinify it.

This seems to be the only picture i managed to take before the dissassembly.

All the easy bits of paint removed from the frame. Luckily, the rust is mainly on the surface

Nice and shiny

Once again... I fail at updating... The engine got an overhaul, but I think I managed it without taking a single picture... >_>

Currently, it runs brilliantly, apart from the exhaust that doesn't quite make clean contact with the cylinder, resulting in sliiiiigtly too much noise. (It does make the cyclists move out of the way, though ;)
