Heres our lil collection we have atm LOL, misus is in a lil gemini club (gemsWA) hense the reason we have a few more and i have started enjoying working on these so we have just bought 2 others over the past month pretty much 2 get back on the road/fix up and re sell and try do as much work on them ourselves 2 save costs.
Misus 84 TG Gem with a 2L g200 and stage 3 cam (even has rare A/C LOL)
yes engine block and gear box is also pink LOL
82 TF Gem
Bought this lil gem 4 $400 unlicenced and yellow sticker. Got a yellow 4 bald tyres and oil leaks and has been sitting since feb this year. wouldnt start at the time which is y we got it 4 a good price. Has been re sprayed a while ago but is still in pretty good nick. Interior is near close 2 being imacculate specially the seats ect.....
Got her started wen we got her home and fired up straight away all it was,was a blown fusable link in which i think was caused by the ugly moster tacho install, all was hooked up 2 the same power feed as the fuel pump + the cd player which had a blown fuse also. ran new seperate wiring, disconnected the moster tacho as its going in the bin lol and all has been fine since.
body is dead straight, hardly any rust appart from 2 sections, rear windscreen between boot and lid and on the top of the drivers door the size of a 50 cent peice.
Things we have fixed up so far:
Secure CD player and re wire.
Re wire electric fuel pump, was running on accessories wire and not igniton :S found a kill switch installed on it while tracing the ignition wire, lucky we found it tho could have been a disaster if it was on at the time haha.
Re paint front grill.
New rear section exhaust with hotdog after diff so it passes pits.
New front indicator lenses (old ones were cracked up)
2nd hand Battery clamp from TC
re paint dash pasts black as they were lime green b4 :S
degrease under carriage + motor 2 find oil leaks. turns out there r no leaks wat so ever must of had bad leaks previously and owner never cleaned the under carrage so it looked bad haha bonus 4 us.
Things still 2 do:
re paint drivers front fender 2 match car
cut rust out of rear screen between boot and screen. water leaks into boot so must b done but doesnt look like a big job
find rear springs, 1 spring has been cut while the other isnt :S who does that?
find better stone gaurd and mayb paint if needed.
take over pits.
Anything heavier and i dont think the VT would have been able 2 tow it hahaha
Ooo so close
77 TC Gem
Bought this 1 actually 4 a guy at work he wanted the blue TF gem but coz its manual his wife didnt want it so thought we would go find an auto 1 4 her. paid $1100 licenced 4 this 1 tho i think we may have gotten this 1 a lil less if i had of tried harder was asking 4 $1300 but i think we could have gotten down 2 $1000 mayb $900 but didnt think they would of budged on price at the time.
No rust wat so ever but does need some sorter paint job as some1 has tried 2 do the matt black finish with spray cans lol so as u can see looks a lil dodgy. runs fine tho we had a sticky thermostat in it which was giving the previous owner troubles with the coolent always spitting out of the over flow pipe. found there was a leaking and blocked heater core in the cabin. needs new front seats as old ones r cracked up, found cd player in boot amongst alot of other products 4 the car so that was a bonus. needs washer jets as old ones have fallen appart and just a general tidy up and good clean.
