Howdy from East Sussex
« on: March 06, 2014, 07:17:47 PM »
Hey all. I picked up my Bis last December after rolling around for a few weeks the mods started.
Now lowered, Speedline X19 alloys polished and fitted.
Full service, new head gasket, induction kit,and a little port and polishing for good measure.
I was toying with a full conversion, as I have a yamaha yzf750 kicking about, but couldn't bring myself to cannibalise it.
Especially now it's making a heady 28 brake ;)
Next on the list is some seat,a disc conversion and maybe a sports exhaust knocked up.

1973/126

 Welcome to the forum.
 Have you got any pictures of the car? It sounds quiet nice :)
 Whereabouts in East Sussex are you?

Cheers all. She's looking a lot happier than when I got her.
I mainly do Lotus repairs but the 126 has really got under my skin.
Great on the school runs and gets more smiles than a Lotus :)
I'm based in Horam, anyone close?
