Wow, that's possibly the cleanest FJ I've ever seen. Shame about the airbrushing.

The first pic I was all "fuck yeah!" then I scrolled down.....

God I love the TX gemi's. like a small LX torrie, especialy in a 2 door, getting rarer these days. looks tops mate, not a huge fan of the airbrushing, but I bet she flys

Apart from that, well done :)

Amazing attention to detail on the engine bay and the interior.

Paintjob isnt my cup of twinings... but I'm sure you love it.

I reckon it would look a heap tougher in gloss black, especially with those hotwires


Exactly my thoughts as I was scrolling down to comment. Black would be off the hook and add a little subtlety to the flares, which are below airbrushing in my opinion. Easily the most tasteful, cleanest interior I have ever seen in any Gemini though. Kudos to the previous owner.

See this is the prblem with the car scene.

A car doesn't have to be something you would personaly own or suit your personal tastes to sit back and think "wow that's neat a lot of effort put into that."

This guy has made his car the way he likes and has to out up with comments like "fail paint job" just because it's not to everybodies taste.

I personally prefer clean looking cars myself and I don't think I'd ever like to own a fully airbrushed car myself but I can still look at an airbrushed car and think wow that's neat without criticising it because it doesn't suit my personal taste.


The air brushing is terrible and patchy at best. This is why it fails. More effort and thought should have went into it

Thankyou all for your comments, photos dont do even a little justice to the paint and airbrushing but i get it (so nineties) lol. Have had the car built for some time now and yes i would do things different today but hey this thing cracks hard and is a shit load of fun to drive. i really need to sell my pride and joy so please if you know anyone looking for a very rare and well looked after toy, please let them know. Paint is easy to change ,cars like this are not so easy to build , trust me. I have it fully engineered and have a QLD mod plate fitted.. Yeehah

At a guessing

Owner one builds car with tough engine, flared guards, old school Simmons and interior trim

Owner two adds air brushing and Celica GT4 bonnet scoop onto hood

Personally I'd strip that paint off, get an original bonnet and respray in the same silver as the engine bay

Actually i am the second owner of this car and have owned it 22yrs ,i think the old lady i brought it off is dead now , lovely ol thing, probably turning in her grave at what was her pride and joy now looks like. i have built this car 4 times to show quality,this effort was lets see how fucking crazy i can go.. Think i did ok, jump in the passenger seat and everyone in the past has shit the gear, it whips along real nice!! Go Nissan power

Yeah, I can see that the 90's/early 00's show car scene has effected it.

It's been mod plated before the engineering changes but you would be lucky to see you're asking price; which I will pretend I didn't see a car being advertised in the members rides
