My Classic Car

I have been in the midst of reconditioning our old family car. Its a first generation Open Gemini 1975 coupe. From what I gathered from the net, its the first coupe edition that was introduced to Malaysia. This car was pronounce car of the year in 1975 by Wheels magazine. This model was later discontinued in 1984. Its also called the issues Coupe in the US since it uses the issues engine as its core. Believe it or not the first generation Honda Civic evolved from this model when it was launched in 1997!!

Anyway, reconditioning the car was a pretty fun process. I am hoping that everything will be done by the end of this year. Of course I am not rushing it since its more of a hobby. The car have been left on its own for quite a few years so me and my brother decided to put some life back into this baby.

The car have definitely gave me a lot of wonderful memories. I can still clearly remember the steamy encounters that I have in the car with some of my female acquaintance. And before you think any further, its not the "thing" that you are thinking off. You see....there is time where the air-conditioning of the car decides not to blow out cold air and when it rains under a relatively hot sunny day, the interior window of the car will fog up. Common sense!! Muahahahaha! Next time, don't think too much into the words ya!

Here's 2 photo that was taken this morning of the car.
