I have a passion for oddball brands. Wanted to do this one for years and finally getting started. I have most of the parts I need, being the engines were made by Moto Villa. I was able to get what I needed out of Italy. Rebuilding the Simons forks and mocking up a Cross up swing arm to send to a builder. 
Yup, you are the oddball king! Can’t wait to see it
Sugar Bear!!!! This is rad. I'm glad someone is doing a Carabela restoration (with the swingarm fabrication to boot!). Kudos!
Checking triples fitting. Surprised how well.

Very nice! I got this bike out of Leola, PA about 25 years ago from family that bought out USA Carabela Importer. It was a 250 motor in a 125 frame with a deep red gas tank. The shop owner said it originally had Simons forks on it and said to be a practice/test bed bike. Sold it a few years ago to a collector in North/Central Jersey. He's a friend of Scott N. (the vintage Kawasaki guy) near you.
Nice build!😍 will follow.
Very rare MX bike, hard to find in Europe.
Thanks! I'll have to ask Scott when I see him.
