Hey its Gene's gemini coupe, haha

 

Mazda 6 Canary Yellow

 

Or Toyota Rav 4 Sky Blue

Nice work with this car, just read through it, i think you need a 2j to keep the front wheels on the ground!

looking great man really like what ur doing with this thing not all of us like white walls and moonies

i think this is goin to be a overrated streeter/show piece

hey thanks heaps everyone for the input, i know not everyone likes big wheels, big pain, and big sound.. but i'm going to try and make this car to appeal to a broad range of people..

 

these are the wheels i'm going for, although they arent branded ssr or or watanabe or simmons i think they will look great and wont cost me an arm an a leg... + a head. they sorta look like simmons fr's.

 

 

 

 

I'm also lookin around for a different grill and different bonnet.. i think i'm lookin for a 'early ke30' bonnet.. and I'm not sure what this grill is off but i want one like this ! sorry to anyone who owns this car :blush:

 

ahhh Lenso C5 polished,

 

these wheels are a hit and miss with some cars, be interesting to see how she looks should you get them

 

SSR's are very hard to get in 4 stud i am to believe went lookin for a set, i mean if someone is parting with them, grab em

that grill is also ke30 item. It might be the latest version before they went ke55? My 78 has the same and its certainly the original

ahh k thanks for that guys ..

 

has anyone used these bonnets ? i don't wanna spend the money and get it shipped 5 hours just to have the thing not fit properly, also the vents don't look right ?

So Dion is taking all hanging panels off, and painting them off the car. rolled the guards today and finished filling in all the badge holes.. wont be long and Rosie will be Ford XR5 Electric Orange, with Purple pearl added :dance:

Nice choice with the colors, look forwed to seeing the end result. :cool:

haha thanks man :happy:

 

 

 

ahhhhh the old bog over rust trick, they actually hit it further into the guard and the bog was about an inch thick.. SOOOO i'm now after a new left guard, new beaver panel and a new bonnet. :bash: well second hand maybe.

 

 

on a lighter note, couldn't find any other rust, other than a bit of surface rust in the boot jam.. all dents are out, all sill holes and badge hole etc are welded up and covered with filler.. all panels are all sanded with 400 ready for primer/paint. interior stripped ready for the doors to come off.. painting all the door jams and both sides of the hanging panels first.. just gotta wait till my mate has some spare time so i can use his booth one weekend :y:

Focus RS electric green

actually scratch that, all gone our guards are.

hahaha carlos my mind's made up :rolls:

new goodies, but shit weather, plus i still haven't found any replacement panels :bash:

 

so going to borrow an air compressor and start priming the other parts that i can.

 

some piccys (:

 

check out the mess we found under the paint of the rear quarter, Dion is going to try and get it straight as possible without using too much body filler. Haven't Done to much really but as the weather has been terrible :n:
