Nice looking Gemini Coupe Troy, those front and rear bumpers would look better with the Australian type brackets, the Aussie bumpers hugged the body better because they dont have the impact absorbtion built in like the US versions. The indicaters look better down in the valance also. See pics below.


that is what i need. will try to find some bumper around here that will work or make my own... i an watching the front turn signals on ebay now because i want to switch them... make it look like the gemini... would luv some original bumper from there but shipping might be to much...a datsun 510 rear bumper will work on the back if i narrow it a bit. and could run a split bumper if i had to on the front using an early luv bumper with out the middle , just some thoughts... would like to find a complete set of badges for it .. i think mine is what you call the TD .. here it was the deluxe

once i get my R1 carbs (40mm) i will make the intake... don't know of any on the market. they will have to be custom made...i was told 36 to 38 mm should work but for a great runner you should use the R1 40mm carbs....if you just want side drafts i do have a set of side drafts i may sell... want $1000 for it , last set that was all tatty needed work i sold for $800 so it a good deal ... was going to put it on ebay for $1200 but never did

Image
here is how the mirrors look , i like them as they are like modern cars and dont attach to the door body but in the window frame corner...
