Help! This one was crying for help..

Here is a Velosolex model 1700 with US Specs (minor things compared to the one in France) that I found on ebay back in 2011. The bike had no wheels, but the rest was mostly there, and a Velosolex 1700 in the US is not a common thing. So I took a change..

The real risk was the engine, from the picture below you can see the cylinder head was broken, the engine lift handle looks bent. the bike must have fallen a few times because the tanks is all dinged... 

I was right to be worried, because after it arrived, I checked and the engine was seized... Oh well! In this blog, I will document the work on this Velosolex while trying to bring it back to life..
