Orange car would be an even rarer spot. You score the point

was wondering if i missed a post about orange.. 
do previous car pics count?
if so i owned an orange transit for a while(was intended parts for the blue one, but ended selling both as restorable)

and some yellow cars

Yellow car

Not even sure if it's old school, kinda like it though, says 4x4 on the back. Been outside a workshop for at least a year now

this was beyond saving (Victoria Australia) but many parts were saved/sold off it) 10yrs ago

I just knew your name was dean! Powers of deduction. 

Cool Gem. I'm presuming you've read this fine thread then... 

There's a fair few of us GM T car fans on here. 

Dean, had a KDX200 .. (2001 model i bought 5yrs old and sold 5yrs later, but i had a 1986 one prior and a 1984 KLR250 i ran into the back of a VH commodore) 

I haven't got to the gemini threads yet, but just opened another tab for later. 

I sold My second diesel gemini last year, it had been my daily for 5yrs. It was rusty when i got it and progressively getting worse. I wasn't prepared to do a full rust bust on it(was repairable but needed LOTS of welding) 
yep, that's a 830cca truck battery i wedged in there(when i was having glow plug relay issues... it was piece of mind)

looked great in photos

Just glad my threads are keeping you entertained, safe at home in Melbourne,   instead of you heading out with your hi viz on and start fights at protests in the name of freedom....

yeah that's going to blow up in their faces, i'm seeing posts about brand new hi vis and boots (fake tradies) 
we just had a 5.5+ earthquake (earthquakes are rare here)so that may flood the news rather than protest/riots today. 
Already saw some memes floating around along the lines of .. "release the earthquakes, that will stop these protests" etc.

yes, youtube rabbit holes are real, especially Allen Millyard's channel (he built a mountain bike also with internal gears and made his own shock absorbers for it etc.. so, just have a short look  .. for ideas/inspiration etc. and come straight back to OS for updates .

Oh sweet! I'll check that out (in the morning though because knackered now) Thanks very much for the link Dean. I'm stoked you've been enjoying my threads- its neat that they have given you something entertaining to read while in lockdown.  I'll certainly keep updating them because even at the very least I like to see them as a sort of build diary for myself to remind me when I'm old of how much time I spent working on funny old cars

 

Alex

I've read all your linked threads also from your sig except the RX3 one, but found ones like this one buried also well worth looking at. i am loving the "Porsche" IMP also. and if you hadn't heard of Allen Millyard(hadn't noticed a mention) you'll definitely see some great videos of his where he hacksaws a motorbike crank case in half (link here so as not to have a non relevant video preview show in this thread) to turn two 4cyl bike engines into a 6cyl for an epic build he did. (don't get too caught up watching all his videos, we need important updates here )

Quick update to say that this old beasty is still going strong and earning every cent of its $300-400 price

G'day, first post here 

I've been loving reading all these amazing builds on this site and @yoeddynz yours have been most entertaining and informative to My brains requirements. (been quietly going insane in Melbourne Au lockdown for seemingly forever) 

when i first read your ideas, i first thought of this project which the guy has nearly finished. 
thought I'd share it here for you in case it resonates or entertains some thought manufacturing process. 
feel free to update all your threads to keep the dream alive. 

Cheers 
Dean.
