Galant2

Tiki bar getting there, lined most of it and well over cutting apart pallets etc. Oiled it all before going up and pretty much the look I was thinking. Small tv connected to Wi-Fi, the old home theater receiver from the house set up even has blue tooth. Stoked with the bifold window shutters and carb spot light for dart board.

The big opening can be closed up with the hinged wall, still heaps to do like build the bar, fit small tv, sound system, line the rest of the walls and screw weird and wonderful quirky shit to the walls

Had enough of playing with bikes for now so turned my attention to some work around the house, the old spa was long dead so what to do with it hmmmmmm ok plan hatched Tiki Bar for summer, how to get rid of the spa built deck over it, find some old scrap timber and just start building I guess.

Some work in progress pics taken during the project

Bored and crap weather here so can't go riding so thought I would share my latest project on here. Picked up an old 400LTD 4 weeks ago very cosmetically challenged but rode ok reg on hold etc. So got it home and looked it over and decided it wasn't worth restoring and I have never done a cafe conversion so oh well might as well give it a go. fabricated a seat and electrics tray from sheet metal then set about stripping to bare frame. Detagged frame and relocated battery box to fit under seat hump. stripped old paint from frame and repainted with gloss black marine enamel. replaced engine starter clutch springs, painted engine, polished side covers and gave it an oil change. Also fabricated stainless inlet tracts to mount the pod filters to for a different look. Also fitted some restriction disks into the start of the tubes the same size as the original airbox inlet to see if I can get away with stock jetting. Started assembling and found the loom had a short at some point and melted down under the tank area so set about fixing that, took 2 days but sorted now, new wire, solder, heat shrink and rewrapped with loom tape. Shortend front guard, tank paneled and painted along with seat front guard and belt guard. Went with a old school color which is a metallic with a light pearl. did a final assembly, fired up first try, balanced carbs and off on a small shake down ride. Seemed to run ok and sounds awesome with the packing remover from the silences. Ran through for wof and the only thing questioned was the front and rear guards, he looked up rules and only found reference to width which said something about covering the width of the tire which they do so said ok by me and passed so cool now have wof but have to wait for weather to come right so can go for decent ride. Only done 21km so far. may have to look at selling on at some point soon tho as 2 RZ's, TZR, RDLC and a Intruder is making space in the shed a bit tight and have project RGV awaiting parts, AX100 project to pick up from tauranga and now looks like a RD400 coming my way if I can find a way of getting it here from Lower Hutt. Sorry if I went on a bit but as I said at start stuck inside bored.
