Kitchs 1200 Coupe - road legal!

[Kitch]

Righto thanks to jesse for giving me a prod for progress update.....

Rear lights all fitted up with new gaskets. pretty tidy - but hanging out to track down some NOS ones if I can find/afford a set



Fender mirror #1 fitted up, freshly painted, polished S/S cups, and brand new cut mirrors.
had to bodgey up the mount bolt system, but might be OK





Grill all freshly painted & NOS emblem fitted - looks smicko

Hey Kitch, looking superb to say the least. The side mirrors crack me up- years ago they were the first thing to get biffed and any mounting holes filled in. How the wheel has done a full circle!
Keep the good work and detailing up, you are nearly there.
Cheers
Dave

Dave - you are right there - they are a pain in the a$$ and flimsy single bolt sprung loaded mount system as well.

I might live to regret running them - but the subtle JDM look with just low and wheels needed something else to bring it out I thought

they look cool but I am already paranoid they will be wiped out while I am walking round car, they do stick out like the proverbial dogs balls!...

Might see you at club day at Ruapuna on the 7th December Dave if you are running - will catch up for a yarn

Little bit done over weekend, fitted up other fender mirror
and finally finished sound installation to shell
fitted foam layer inside rear quarters and in boot area



fitted up side vents


Will get under car tonight and design drive shaft hoop, then better suss getting my rims overhauled/polished

[Kitch]

Really starting to get somewhere now with this build I feel....
Lewis has done a superb job of interior fitout today, the old hood lining looks better than new
wheel well looks sweet in stretchy carpet stuff, and the custom vinyl over wheel arches is perfect
Also the AutoDec pre finished carpet kit fits really well & good quality






Also installed my custom drive shaft hoop to keep Mr Certifier happy

Wow. Great progress Kitch. Summer here you come!

[R3spct]

Oh wow, so much inspiration to keep up the work on mine. Money permitting im hoping by this time next year to have it in assembly.

That last pic looks like your zhorst is glowing red like it's been on a dyno or something

This is really starting to move on now Kitch. Looks sooo Sweet. 1 day my coupe will get an overhaul. But it won't be to your level.

[Kitch]

Bit more progress. hard to find the time but still chipping away.
dropped mags off in chch today to be refurbished
interior nearing completion, will have to get windscreens in soon
