Luke's 1200 Coupe

[broke]

Well done Luke, once again you've put the rest of us to shame with your dedication and perseverance. Just the little things to do now!

Dare I say.. People's Choice Akaroa 2017?

Taupo 2017 mate!

Fuck yes!
As for premature WoF, I was told to go get a WoF (When my 510 is finally done) and then use that sheet to get cert for what it fails on. Having that list helps you get shit carted you may have missed but the WoF guys don't.
Well done all all involved.

not allowed back at work till the 10th so will be chipping away at the list slowly but surely.
cheers for all the encouragement, it was a relief more than anything to be able to drive it!!!

Annnnnddddddddddd on a way more useful note, brendan has solved all wiring issues that plagued my failed wof attempt.
I have a fully functioning electrical system.

With a 1200 either end of me I felt it was safe enough to do some new years hoons, courtesy of bede and brendan.
Stopped in to see adam, he was working on his project which was awesome to see, then hooned over to josh to drop off some mirrors. He was also balls deep in his new toy.
Ran really well entire run, just need to secure that damn exhaust.

If you had a Crocker fabrication gearbox mount you could hang an exhaust mount off the back of it.

its not there that it needs securing unfortuneatley.

pulled the gbox out tonight for basically.....shits and giggles. back in tomorrow night. swapping oil out too. coz im fussy, and brendan reccomended it.

fitted new 1.5' blocks with last minute ubolts courtesy of bellamy and east at 4pm. amazing what a box of beer can do. cost me $10 per mm of travel i gained with the blocks

i could have bent the ones that came with the blocks in but im fussy and the radius was suited for a h145 rather than my h165. about 5mm difference but worth the beers.

Went in for a wof......
Got a very kind list........
Will be all sorted by tonight for reinspection tomorrow
