Sorry - rubbish first post for a while. Struggling to find the ‘edit’ button.
This is an 84 R80G/S found in the loft of a garage. Paperwork suggests it’s been there about 21 years !
Completely dismantled but most of the big bits seem to be there.

We all love a project. Some spend a Kings ransom on them !!
Had a bit of a sort out to see what I had and what I will likely need.
The engine is in one big bit but very dirty. It has what looks like some accident damage to the side of the timing chain cover and appears to have had a hard life, so for peace of mind, I will rebuild it. I’ve done a few of these now and enjoy the process.
The gearbox is already in numerous pieces - not sure why. Another candidate for a rebuild. This will be more challenging as I’ve never done an airhead gearbox and I don’t have any of the specialist tools that seem to be required.
No centre or side stand in the chassis parts so these need to be hunted down.
Just stuck an order in to Motorworks for a few bits so I can at least reunite some of the bigger parts.

And I have a side stand …
And quite a few other bits - new rocker covers, exhaust nuts, centre collector box, foot pegs, seat etc etc …

If you’re not confident about the gearbox (which I certainly wouldn’t be!) Mikeyboy would certainly sort you out.
I too have lots of parts left over from projects. Indicators, subframe with seat catch (!) , tool box and tools, seat + + +. All parts are in good condition and ready to reuse.Let me know what you need when the time comes.
Wow. That’s amazing guys.
Thank you so much.
I’m not a paid up member (yet) so can’t pm you.
Let me get signed up and I’ll be in touch.
I’m in Woking, Surrey so we could be quite close

I’ve begun to assemble some of the chassis parts just to see what I’ve got and what’s missing.
Just a bit of stock taking really.

Bit more parts sorting and work this morning.
Got the mudguards and yokes on.
Also trial fitted the side panels and silencer.
Put in a parts order to Motorworks for a centre stand fitting kit, head races and some miscellaneous fittings.
