Not yet, spent the last few months focusing on sorting out other things in the life game. Now that's over I'm trying to get at least one project car done this year, then will be moving on to tackling the car that all the DIY mods will be filmed on. It's still very much in the back of my mind though don't worry ;)

Update: I will be starting filming of episodes next week when I pick up my Nationals shell. The plan is to film as many different DIY jobs as possible in between now and April, and premiere on Youtube once I get back from the weekend. Those staying at the park for nats might even get an early preview ;)

I'm also planning (With Jonno and Co's permission of course) on making a roadtrip/lifestyle themed video of the Nationals, including footage of the trip there and back in a Gem, overall shots of the event, the megacruise, and short interviews from anyone who is willing to be on camera for a few seconds (then a few shots of your ride while you talk over the shots telling everyone some brief info about it). Absolutely no one is obligated to participate, but the more that want to, the better the result would be. I'm also planning on entering the hillclimb, so will be able to add that in as well.

Aside from that, I will most likely be starting with a general intro or season 1 preview if I can compile enough footage. Brief history of the Gem/T-Car, how to pull out/replace a motor, how to fit a cam, how to fit twin carbs, rust/lemon spotting, swapping diffs, intro to suspension mods, and maybe an in-depth teardown and rebuild of a G series, as well as the differences between G161/G180/G200Z

So yeah, this is happening peeps. Get excited! :D

Been thinking about a name for the series too, I'm tossing up between, DIYGemini, GemLife/GeminiLife, GemiMods something in that general direction. I'm more partial to DIYGemini, but interested if anyone has any other suggestions.
