Out in the sun- engine bay done just needs a polish will be reassembling today!

Plating looks against the paint (black zinced bonnet spring)

Cheers to Rigg Electroplating!

not me... still a slave to the spray gun, learning lots. Will be worth all the extra time I have spent in prep will hopefully make for a sweeter end result.

Next month I shall be there with newly prettied up Gemini : )

haha don't know if wifey coming yet... don't know which car I'll bring... really just don't know... bit like this guy:

Head is at West Auckland Engine Reconditioners. $450+gst which is poo but had to take two heads in as first was cracked. @nd one had worn exhaust guides so price incl sorting those and pressure test, strip x2, cleanx2, bead blast head and intake mani, reassemble etc.

Grill is at the Grill and Bumper Exchange in Glenfield getting a crack sorted.

Got a bucket of bits Black Zinced bolts/brackets etc... look all good and will look great against the new paint.

Heading back now for MOAR!!!

Still need to desperately purchase side mirrors, lowering springs, oil/fluids/filters etc etc etc and other stuff that has been forgot.

CANT WAIT!

Photo Dump time:

Metal flake under the flash on my cell camera... gana look so sweet in the summer sun!!!

Note Pic# 2 of photo dump.... has Escort Van roof mocked up for future Gemini Panelvan project... virtually a perfect fit, my man Tristan reckons it will be easy peasy!

My red gem is receiving the treatment at the mo nedmond...pushing poop up hill for it to be all go next week... struck rust but tristan is allover it

A dude from your oldschool you say...

Saw a mint 2door hc viva on triangle rd massey. Was for sale... cream with whitewalls 3.5k

Keen for a place to sleep

So want to make a dodgy Andy Ling comment now

Hahaha so nice you refrained.

But I'll let you off.

Lol

I'm an interested party for somewhere to party (I mean sleep)

Private party... so where are the rowdy OS'ers stayin at?

biggest problem will be deciding which T car to drive... maybe rego/wof and gremlins will decide for me!

PS Snoozy Poo... will def want in on some form of overnight accomodations... where were yal thinking?

Tuesday is actually perfect for me, just got an email saying that the SP250 committee meeting is probably going to be held on wednesday instead of thursday. Handy!

Congratulations! I had beans on toast for breakfast this morning. It was yum.

Oh yeah me +1! (birthday weekend, excited muchly!)

may have a freshly painted car (on skyscraper suspension) if we can pull it all off on schedule... will make a spirited attempt to attend...

Well, seeing how owning multiple of the same type of car seems acceptable around here, I thought I'd start a project thread on my latest acquisition.

Completely normal to own several variants of the same car- anyone who tells you it isn't is LYING! : )

Love the Vauxhallness of your posts, subscribed!

saw a sweet Zodiac Wagon at King Dicks this morning whilst getting my fathers day Macky D's brekkie (McD Westgate, WILL NOT TRADE AGAIN)

and just now saw a Granma n Pa out for a drive in their beat up old Marina... then 2 cars back from them was a new commie wag (blah) towing a car trailer with what looked like a paddock rescue Singer Vogue Estate... uber rusted but looked so sweet as is. Nice looking wags they are : )

So... have just paid most of the bill in advance to have this thing painted. Will be going into a paint supplier to pick colour tomorrow. Excited much I am!

It is going to recieve panel van panels over rear side windows and chrome front and rear bars and ASAP some lowering springs and sweeter wheels... CANT WAIT!

I have known people who have had them in red silver and stool brown. I spotted a familiar red Alfa Romeo Giulia twice today when I went out with fams for arvo and when we returned... whose is it? Was at burger boes looking all lovely and shit

Live next to a bit of a hoarder, not so much hoarder of cars- lots of equipment. Makes for a fucked up eyesore of an outlook that I don't mind nearly as much as my Mrs does ; )

spotted this the other day creeping up towards whenuapai from kumeu ways

The difference a couple of weeks makes.... spotted a sweet vw beetle today... ratty looking will have to upload pic when next on pc... not sure how to photobucket on newfangled phone.

I wish my drivers door still looked like that... modified it with a series 2 commie wagon

there were 2 gemmis in the carpark... and will be again within the hour : )

I miss you chaps/chapettes so will be making an effort... xo

Wow... havn't updated this for a-g-e-s... it is driven daily by my worker. Not much has changed... needs head replaced ASAP as 2 of the spark plugs have reamed their threads, have spare just need to get it checked and tidied up.

The rusty red gem pictured here:

has been exchanged for a years worth of tattoo sittings which I have already done 3 decent sized pieces on my right arm over 6 sittings...

Anyway plan for my red Uber Clean wagon:

Repaint As soon as I can spare the funds! Looking at a nice candy red of some description, shade hasn't been decided.

The back side windows will also be paneled over. I did indeed steal the chrome bumpers from the tattoo wagon before making deal with him... so the end caps will be restored, new filler strips front and back sourced (or likely made)

Needs low... this will wait for paint first though before any money gets spent on it, unless it is to keep the thing on road!

Wheels, the wide steels I picked up that are currently on green wagon will likely end up residing on this. Will not be able to go any lower than green wag though as I discovered last night it scrapes on judder bars

Anyway I'm hoping I can get this painted in next few months, been sayingf it for ages but it is a fucking terrible representation for my business!!!
