Day 4 of the Challenge to turn a $400 former turbo drift racecar into a road car in only 14 days.
Sorry for not making daily uploads like I said, kept making vids too late in the day with no light.
TE motor is out, steering rack has been switched over, interior is being replaced, and the rust demons have come out to play a little more.

Holden Gemini 2 Week Challenge - Day 6
Day 6 of the challenge to turn a $400 former turbocharger drift racecar into a registered road car in only 14 days.
Bit of a short one this evening, have done my best to make as much progress as possible. I'll probably have to start knocking off some of the smaller jobs soon so that I don't fall too far behind schedule.
Hoping to have the motor back in the car tomorrow!
Wish me luck...
Holden Gemini 2 Week Challenge - Day 10
Day 10 (Feb 13th) of the challenge to turn a $400 former turbocharged drift racer into a road car in only 14 days.
Due to comp issues this video was uploaded late.
In this episode we have a little help from the buyer himself, and lay down some paint on a few panels. The interior gets some new carpet, and I fail to demonstrate the low compression in an Isuzu G161Z.
It looks like the won't be done by day 14, but I will continue taking videos even after the deadline has been passed.
Holden Gemini 2 Week Challenge - Day 9
Day 9 (Feb 12th) of the two week challenge to turn a $400 former turbocharged drift racer into a road car in only 14 days.
Comp issues have meant this video was uploaded late.
Getting there slowly, in this episode the engine is back in, the electrics of the car are being hooked back up, and the interior is on its way to being improved.
I also explain a commonly misunderstood fault in the factory breather system, and suffer from lighting issues...
Enjoy :)
