Luke's 1200 Coupe

[mint16]

Dont just buy one ga16 gearbox, buy two. Or four.

[mint16]

Some Nissan Serenas have ga16de with 5spd, rear wheel drive, if you didnt already know...

[luke]

Nissan serenas are the ONLY rwd gboxs for a GA16DE.
And hardly a popular engine size for a van as most can out sr20de.

lewis has been working his magic on my seats/interior. both front seats are done and look the tits!

Wow!
Lewis does a nice job!

[luke]

He certainly does!

fuk me they look sweet - are you doing the rears as well.

they look amazing - Lewis is the man alright

im doing the whole interior.............. sorry, lewis is. AND ACEING IT!

i figure its an expense i will have to splash out for eventually regardless, also bought snails full coupe interior as backup. and he had a singular plastic trim bit i needed.
my goal this year isnt akaroa, its the interior finished and sealed in.
Hopefully the wiring if dans offer still stands. glass etc, maybe exterior chrome trim too. and it needs more low, i want another 20-30mm all round, but will look at my leaves to see what im willing to deal with. At the moment i only have (bumpstops not fitted) around 60mm of travel from diff to floor with reset 75mm leaves with eyelets flipped and 50mm blocks.
Then that way its only engine ish/ making it move without pushing it/actually achieving something mechanical stuff left (among many other countless things)

have tidied garage and moved a few things round to actually give me walking space around this toy now, hoping to buy carpet within the month too from autodec, is that who supplied yours kitch? would like to know how it fits in case i need to get lewis to make something up.

also, bough some new metal fender mirrors outta japan via that greasedmonkey bloke, hope they are lovely. metal and all which im stoked about, allthough bolting them to a notoriously rusty vehicle make is a risk further down the track sent yesterday so maybe a few weeks away yet.

Built not bought someone told me a long time ago, but my bank acc disagrees

You have come a long way, and done enough hands on stuff to qualify for built not bought.

i suppose im almost at that point.......... almost.
was txting lewis this arvo and it prompted me to do an hour in the coupe fitting more sound deadener. first half on inner rear guards from doors back is now done both sides to center of rear wheel arch. slow progress on this front. stupid house (garage) savings
