Hey fellows..Atul Haldankar from Mumbai..Made an id long time ago, but was inactive..Anyways, I love 2 strokes, primarily a biker..I own an RD350, an everyday commuter RXG and a RX135 5 speed im prepping for th drags this year...My dad handed the keys to his 86' SS80 [First version Maruti 800] to me and its currently on its way to restoration and a few tweaks and improvements to the engine..

I'm a hardcore DIY enthusiast, and love maintaining, rebuilding and improving my own motors..its a good thing i have encouraging parents and im thankful for that coz my room is always a huge mess..student by profession..studying management but a true automotive enthusiast at heart

Hope to get to learn a lot here, and become a part of the TBP family

Nice to see another SS80 owner on the forum. Even i've got an 85 model, which is undergoing a rolling restoration...

Thanks a ton for the warm welcome guys. And oh yea I apologize for the sms lingo to begin with. I am well aware of the rules now, and will be careful in the future

@ akshay - thanks man.Yes I'm planning on some serious head work on that bike, err car

.Its all gonna be a shoestring budget, so junkyard zindabad!!.Want to build a real quick street worthy motor, although Im a complete newbie to cars, but what the heck i'll give it a shot anyways.No cosmetic upgrades though.I prefer sleepers..thanks for the wishes again.Hoping for one of those documented rebuilds to come up soon
