Part of the fun: engine in, engine out, engine in, engine out.
This time to get the castor rod mounts tacked in, rear engine mount tacked together too.

That's looking really cool.

Is it just me, there is something about Honda engines that makes them "look the goods". 8)

How do you change the oil filter, or do you intend
to fit a remote one

With a great deal of difficulty.

Do you plan on repainting the rocker cover?

It must be the photo. There is plenty of room to remove it.

Yep, painting it red once everything is done. I have another one that I have stripped back that has "VTEC" and Honda on it still. Not sure which one I'll use yet. Branding or no branding....

Back on 4 legs. Suspension geometry seems quite good by eye.

Your rate of progress is incredible - and unfair!

this is so fantastic, what are you doing for the rear mount or the torque mounts?

it also looks like there is a bit or positive camber on the front.
