go really mad on it?? as opposed to this one... where you just went tame?? : )

i say 12,000 realistically. i know youve probabally spent 30 but i cant see anyone paying mor than that for a gemini.

Did you do most of the work your self?

yeah man, i did most of the work myself, bar making a sump and tailshaft Smile

i was actually thinking of advertising it for around $7000, would that b realistic?

this 1 aint that mad, next 1 i wanna build will b a 13b j port turbo (its possible) and i want it 2 break into the 9's and b able to drive it on the street as well as racetrack
