But by 10pm I have the engine in, forks on, trees on, handlebars and dash fitted.

Time to go home

You work quickly. I'm surprised to see how shiny the frame is. I always thought powder coating left a matt finish so I opted for getting the Zundapp's frame painted in black Acran - and of course I chipped it in a couple of places while I was assembling it. I understand powdercoating is more robust and now I see the quality of shine, I wish I had gone for that instead of paint.

Cheaper than painting, too, I note.

The powder coating certainly looks good and its very hard, I know that because I dropped the old frame and it bounced off the hoist before hitting the concrete, didnt even scratch it

I might just do that.

Here is the pic of work I have managed to do today, in between paid work of course. Its surprising how long the fiddly bits take, like fitting coils, wiring everything up and fitting the exhaust + 6 downpipes.

Cooling system, carbs and rear end to go, should be finished tonight
