Worthwhile projects may be pursued to, well, impressive results:

A year or so ago, I saw on the web a little Solex car.When I was at Tan
Son Nhut in 1964, I bought a new Solex Moped to ride around on Base.The
left rear part of the frame cracked.I took it to Motor Pool and got it
welded up.Later on, I gave the Solex to one of our Vietnamese laundry
girls.Soon after that, she sold the Solex to somebody.
