    Pulled the trigger and purchased a coupe kit in Arizona.

    Hi All

    Pulled the trigger and purchased the Base coupe with some of the upgrades on special ( 3-link rear, disk brakes rear, lower control arms). I've spent the last couple weekends striping an 91 LX fastback so I have everything on the donor list. The dash wiring harness looks like many hours of where does this wire go. Started looking at some the coupe postings looks like a lot to catch up on. Can't wait for Stewart to deliver.

    Congratulations Larry,

    Just got mine delivered last week and my son and I started completion mods this weekend. Fun so far and the forum members have been a great help. Glad to have another newbie to learn with.

    Larry,

    Welcome to the Coupe Community. I'm in Gilbert, if you want to stop by and see Arizona's longest running coupe buildtm. There's always time to talk cars and FFR in particular. As a bonus, you can see most of the popular coupe mods on my car, as well as a few unique ones.

    And there is cold beer in the garage fridge.

    -Matt

    Hey gave you a PM. Would love to talk to you about how the build went. Still going back and forth on the Roadster and Coupe.
    Its hot and sunny most of the time and don't know if i want to drive a Roadster around and if i go with the coupe would need AC. Plan on making it as comfortable as possible and make it almost a semi daily driver to work. I live in Sahuarita and would drive into Tucson. My parking is in a secure locked and gated site so no worry about bad things happening to it and so on.

    I think we are neighbors

    I saw your entry on the forum. I live on the east side. I think I am pretty close to you. I ordered my type 65 coupe for a Nov Delivery. I would love to check out what you are doing to get ready or your delivery, and possibly lend a hand so I will be a little ahead of the game when my kit arrives. My address is 8440 e. Bogota pl, 85715 (H) 520-396-3945. I thought I saw your address once, but could not find it when I tried tonight.
    My name is also Larry...

    Welcome to the pack. At some point all of us Tucson people should get together. I will have my Roadster at Cars and Coffee on Sept. 14 and the car show on Oct. 19. Chuck9899 may stop by as well.
