Hi guys, I decided to make a build thread for my Newport, there's not much left of the original bike but here it goes. I started this in 2014 when my professor gave me a moped that had been sitting in his garage since the 80s. It was super messed up and the engine was seized. I decided I wanted to build a blaster.
