Been notified, the 126 is not yet going to make it to this RR.  :cry: Hopefully be in the Lada again, depending on my dodgy clutch foot!
But I WILL try to get some photos printed of the progress so far on the restoration...!

Part 1 of the journey down today: Orkney to Glasgow
Going to stay here a few days before commencing Part 2 on Friday (Glasgow to Worcestershire)

After fitting a new starter, new pump and new engine and carb gaskets, the BIS made it without breaking down!
Although there's oil spilling from the carb onto the rocker cover... so the carb gasket didn't last long (or would it be something else I wonder)

Will be taking it to the garage on Monday to fit new gearbox mounts.


Left to Right: Ferry, foggy Caithness, just north of Inverness and somewhere in the middle of the Highlands

That's an epic journey, The oil will be coming up through the breather its common and nothing to worry about its usually the rubber gasket on the metal housing on top of the carb that isn't seated properly, check the oil level isn't too high

See You Friday ;D

I was hoping to come to Retro Rides this year, but I'm not going to get my new starter motor installed in time for the weekend.

Will go to Kop Hill Climb event in September instead.
