Hi Boys and Girls.

It has been a while since i have been on here. I sold both my Gemini's. The RB Gemini went for afew hundred and the shell went for the same. I have a 1976 HJ Kingswood now. A 202 straight 6. It is a car i will never sell and when it is on the road i will be looking for a new project. I have had a look at some of the japanese 3 cylinder turbo's and they look ok but i want something with performance. Goons hows the RB? Sorry about the long post.

meaning those charade turbos?
they can look nicer than the deTomaso ones if you do it right

yeah the 84 one i think it is. the boxy one. its a 3 cylinder turbo. would be nice but very small. i want something cheap but something that has some balls. the kingswood is a tank. sure it does have some power but i want something i can get dirty and something that i can put my foot down in and it will respond. i think i could get a stock charade for afew hundred and do it up to how i want it. Any ideas?

Spoke to a guy at a servo once who had a mid eighties Charade 3Cyl, 1000cc Turbo. The whole rear cargo area, behind the back seat, and I mean the entire area, was taken up by a 100lt LPGas tank. The guy said it cost him 2cents a km to run.

just kidding mate, whats the beef? you got rid of the rb? worst move you ever made lol. ive still got the rb, i got it lowered again last week; its lowered 4 inches at the back and 3 and a half at the front now and looks like a pimpmobile. ive bought me a new project car, a tx coupe; i was going to buy yours but it wouldve cost too much for me to get it here, and this one was just up the road so top stuff. ill keep everyone posted on its/my progress alrighty.

catch you later, sorry bout the wrong post,
justin
