IBiiS GS500 frame and engine
  Frame in place over the engine. Unfortunately some damage occurred to the frame paint in the process. Serves me right for being impatient and trying to do it unaided.  Perhaps I should have designed a frame with a bit more wiggle room around the engine.
   Suspension going on. The most challenging bit was working out how to support and jack up the frame to allow fitment of the various bits and pieces.

  With the suspension in place, the wheels can now go on.
  Tank, lights, undertray and electrics now fitted.

  Almost finished now. Just the hideous mirrors to go on (fitted below). Now, I just need some spare time and reasonable weather so that I can get it off the lift and out of the garage to check that everything works.
  Next stop will be the MOT and MSVA test - once I've plucked up the courage!
