Hi there, I'm new to the forum, so thought I would introduce myself here.
About 5 months ago i bought a '78 Gemini coupe with standard 1600 motor and a 5 speed gearbox. The condition was poor so I painted it up and did a general tidy up. Since then have been using it as a daily driver and it hasn't missed a beat! Previous owner fully rebuilt engine and put in the new gearbox. Its in pretty average condition cosmetically now, usual cracked dash as well as pieces missing from the interior, and a few dents in the body work too.
Since then I have acquired a large collection of parts which are sitting in a big pile in my garage. I will put a thread in the parts section detailing them, and also a few parts I need myself. Don't need to get rid of the parts or anything, but if someone needs something they are there for the right price. Will put up some pictures of my car up too, in the members cars section, if I can work out posting pictures!
Cheers

no he kept the twin cam stuff. Bought the green one a few months later for parts, it was rusted pretty badly. I've now had three Gemini coupes in the last 5 months. Its bloody addiction!
what a pain about the guards, he had two good ones two, I know because I have them now.
