yer, they pretty nice. I prob wouldnt take a different model.

 

Complaining about the weather in Australia? I don't know about that. It's probably one of the best places in the world for working on cars outside. It's all snow and under 40 degrees 3/4 of the year here!

 

haha yeah, i hate winter. Its dark at 5pm, cold, wet n sh!t.
I spose where i am in vic is the coldest part of australia, its pretty far south.
And ive been sick, havent been able to work on the Lux.. :/ so bored. Haha.

 

well i dont want to spoil your guyes day over there but its been the low 95 to the high of 106 here where i live. Sorry

 

lucky.

 

i now have the mirrors i ordered from a Honda Motorcycle shop, and im very pleased.

nice mirrors!



worst weather? you're winters barely touch 60 farenheit (i think lol, it was barely 60 when i was around)
haha your summers are beautiful though.

 

Nice mirrors. You going to make a filler piece on the door?
And nice mtn bike too.

 

Thnx. Yeah ill prob use the old filler, i was thinking i could hinge it and use it as a custom door handle, but for the time being ill prob just go with poplocks. Or a button connected to an acuator..? Like you use for remote locking, Maybe itll open the doors...
Haha, its my bro's mountain bike.
We use degressnot farenheit, so i dunno. I miss summer.

 

about 16 degrees Celsius i think
maybe a little higher, i forgot

 

Yea sometimes it gets in the 50s but it is beautiful in the summer. Also at the beach there is alot of beautiful stuff to on these hot days!!!!!

 

haha, ah well. tomorrow im going on a cruise, so i want to primer the rest of the Lux up.

 

primed up the rest of Lux, because it looks better all one colour than three colours, haha. Still have repairs and welding to do anyway.

 

figured i should work out how the doors are going to be opening when i shave the door handles.
Solution, flush chrome button near mirror, and door pops open.
i used an actuator, usually use them for power locking.
Nice, flush, and its chrome. Haha.

 

nice so far! I'm loving it. can you do engine swaps in Australia from other manufacturers and all? I say a Holden Commodore V8

 

wooh, glad you like it. im so glad i managed to make my own door poppers up, few dollars on the push button, i already had power actuators from my remote locking kit. win win win.

um, im thinking of an ecotec v6, they come in commodores. if you dont know, google will help i guess haha. but this could be a b it of a project, im thinking of fully cleaning engine bay up, if i do an engine swap.
unfortunatly, we have the sh!ttest laws here. because i am on red p plates, this means i cannot drive a v8, you have to have your licence for four years before you are allowed drive a v8. so gay. im 19 now, so still three years before im leaglly allowed in a v8.
but i dont care, the lux is going ok with its 22r, of course it doesnt do burnouts well, and i run it on gas, not unleaded, and i save so much when running on gas, so cheap. a v8 just drinks that unleaded in.. :/

 

looking good man. Now if you just push that button the door opens? If so then cant anyone get in it. Dum question i know

 

thnx mate, nah its cool, everyone asks me that. no, if doors are locked then it wont work, pretty much works the same as a normal door handle/lock, ill take a pic next time i have the door trim off and ill show u how i did it. so simple.

 

holy crap you gotta import me a MKII toyota hilux 4 door 4 wheel drive 4 cylinder diesel! PLEASE!!!
