Very differant looking car there mate .. I like it for its uniqueness ..
Are there many Geminis in the Phillipines.. ??
Have you turned your rims around.. ??
Is that safe ..??
It looks great , strange but good , i think..
I Dont know if you realise how hard it is to find a Gauge Console and a Tacho dash.. Where Did you get them.. ? |

@geminiv6turboute - tnx mate
@GEMWRC - tnx mate, there are only a few left here in the philippines, but back in the day there are many gems here
i recondition the gauge and tach when i got it, now its functioning well....the rims are safe on the roads, convert it to powersteering
@Jonno - tnx mate, yeah it looks like a snow plow, it is japanese inspired though, im aiming on a bozosoku look(japanese style)
like this

Looks awsome mate.
Did you say you have converted to powersteering? What rack did you use?
What does the Japanese writing say?
The snowplow looks ace.  _________________

Definately got the height to be a snow plow
How did you manage to straighten all the panels. From what I can see from the photos there wasn't one straight panel on the whole car.
Good job mate. _________________ Regards, Dave |

@Nimbus - yes, i used a mitsubishi lancer rack,tough convertions though... a common oldschool car here in philippines.....
the japanese writing: 1st: First Know Yourself Then Know Others (longer one)
2nd; i control my destiny (shorter one)
@GeminiCoupe - nop, they are KE30 tail lights, when i bought the unit, the original tail lights is too damage, and there are no gem taillights available here in our country, cause its rareness, i can repair i,t but, but it will look not a gem tail light no more
, and also, its a very bulky taillight, not my type, i go to a ke30 taillights to compliment the size
@dbart1961 - what kind of panel do you mean?...dash? fender side?  _________________ gem sumo |
