Hey all, this is my 8th gemi so far and hopefully its gonna be the best out the lot!.

I've got some fairly big plans for it, and it should be pretty much finished by around the january mark, maybe sooner if i get my mates around and get stuck into it.

Plans are as follows

-Respray

-Full inside and outside 2Pack respray in Holdens - Monaro Devil Yellow with a few Renault Green/Yellow Overlay Pearls.

-Retrim Interior

-Full White 6mm ply white interior retrim with front Skyline Seats, New black moulded carpet, Yellow crack free dash, and Yellow various interior parts such as door handles, carpet strips, etc.

-Interior Lighting

-White neon/light kit - VS Calais door lights in the doors, white neons under dash and under the back of the front seats and parcel shelf.

-Suspension

Pedders Custom Tuned Springs
Pedders Short Travel Shocks
Adjustable Panhard Rod
Adjustable Front & Rear Swaybars
New Rubbers/Bush kit for front end
Slotted Balljoints

-Engine

2lt Bottom end
- Rebuilt to stock
- Balanced
- Lightened flywheel
- Double row timing chain

1.8ltr Head
-Extensive porting/flowing
-Port matching of manifolds
-Twin 45mm Webers on LYNX Manifold
-Large Cam

Others
-Gilmer Drive
-Chromed Engine Mounts, Sump & Dipstick, Rocker Cover, Alternator Brackets, Heater Cover, Coil Cover, Regulator Cover.
-Electronic Ingition

-Gearbox

-5 Speed Rodeo 4ZD1 Gearbox

-Differentials

- Minispool

-Rims

-Most probly some 15" rims or if i can get a bit of extra cash soon, some 17" Vault Krystals.

-Front and Back Lights

-New chrome tail lights with brighter Globes

-New TG Front lights with Halogen Blue globes and Clear
indicator lenses

-Grille

-Modded TE Grill to suit TG Lights.

Thats just a few of the mods ive got in mind for now. all up its gonna cost alot. half of the mods wont be completed till mid next year, im just worrying about the paint/engine for now. then ill worry about what to do next.
