	I feel a bit guilty! It's been ages since I last posted much on here, and we have been working away on loads of things you lot will probably like! This for instance! Started with an early air-cooled Fiat 126 and chopped most of it away! Then design and build a spaceframe chassis to fit within the shell and house a 300bhp Rotrex Supercharged Honda Blackbird bike engine!

	You can see the build process in loads of detail here: www.retropower.co.uk/projects_126_Blackbird.htm Currently I'm in the process of neatening up all the metalwork and preparing to fabricate a steel bodykit to house the wheels!

	Fantastic project you have here. 330 bhp in a tiny 126 could prove er.. shall we say fun?!! I've just spent the last hour looking at your website and salivating (yeah sad I know) over some of the work you blokes have done or are doing. Superb engineering skills and fabrication.
