Hey guys. On here to show you my Gemini coupe. I realize its not to everyone's taste so if you don't like it just don't read? With that out of the way here are some photos of it the day i got it
That was 12 months ago. Got ****ed around by a guy who was supposed to be painting my car for a full year. He kept putting it off for ages and ages and changing dates. Then the day he was meant to pick it up, he backed out of the job completely. So the car hasn't really progressed. Do have a lot of parts for it though.
Gemini Odometers only have 5 digits on them so im unsure how many k's it has on it. but it has been sitting around for the past ten years (supposedly). When i bought it it had a ****ed fuel pump so i changed that, put fuel in it and then found it had a blocked fuel filter. Changed that. Then it ran fine but was unhappy with the amount of noise from the bottom end, the oil was sticky like tree sap, and blew a lot of smoke. Decided it needed a rebuild. That and the engine was very very disgusting. Then on my birthday this year, an engine shows up at my work. We are a BMW specialist. And it wasn't a BMW motor. Attached is a card. "Happy 17th Birthday"
Car is actually going to paint this weekend. Hopefully. Is going to be ford focus orange (electric orange)
So that's all the progress so far. I Hope i will be back soon with updates on paint.
Further in the distance plans is an rb25DET or sr20DET conversion. but i have to start somewhere.
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
