Greetings form Bristol!

Hi all!

I'm James (20), I'm an aeronautical apprentice  interested in classic bikes and cars. Recently bought a car I've been wanting to own since I was young.
A lovely 126. She's from a racing school back in Poland, she was going to be scrapped but someone brought her to Radstock where I bought her.
I plan to put in a Fire 1108 engine into her with parts mainly imported from Poland.



And this is my classic bike if any of you were interested!

A 1984 BMW R80RT

You paid a visit to my pals garage when I first got my 126! (Parrot) Will have to get along to a local meet together at some point and say hi 😁

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!
 
Geemccaw- It may have been the previous owner in Radstock, I haven't driven this yet haha!

Decided to drop the engine today as I wanted to spray the engine bay and clean up the engine and solve the reason why it bogs when you touch the accelerator, also want to sort out the head. The studs for the exhaust are gone so helicoils are needed!

Took less than 50 minutes to drop the engine with the bare minimum tools(definitely  didn't use a motorbike wheel as a jack..) and equipment!
