Well, I am pleased to report that after six months or so I finally have the GS1100's engine back in my possession, freshly ringed and honed and cam-chain-guided and base-gasketed; and just about one year to the month after beginning this project I am in a position to finish it.

All the pieces and parts are carefully wrapped and boxed in various scattered locations about the Garage; the frame is washed and scrubbed; the two plastic parts are painted flat black, and I have a drawing in hand detailing the various things I need to do in addition to the shop-manual assembly procedure.

So, the legos are ready to stack and snap, the directions laid out on the floor; but unlike simply complaining to mom that I don't want to eat supper I have to conform to the hours available between the twin iron fists of work and of night.

(I wish I knew something about posting photos. Blogger doesn't seem to handle pics in sequence very well. Oh well, I'll have to do what I can.)
