Default [Project 79] Update on the Project

Well, I feel like we really turned the corner this week. We have a nice shiny motor now, and only a few more non- new or restored parts left to deal with.

I haven't ever replaced a header bar before, so that is really my only task left I haven't done before.

:thumbs: :cheers:
