Make: 1984 TG Gemini SL.
Engine: 2.0ltr carby 4cyl.
KMS: 307,000. (motor was rebuilt 10,000kms ago)
Paint: morpheous purple with silver metallic and chrome highlights.
Wheels: 17x6 **** rims.
Gearbox: 5 speed manual.
Diff: no idea what gears it has.
Purchase price: $3,000.


Mods:
*extractors.
*single 2.5in with a hotdog, rear resonator and dumper tip.
*some sort of aftermarket carby, unsure what it is.
*KnN air filter, KnN rocker cover breather.
*electronic ignition.

*dash painted purple and silver.
*3 gauges sunken into the dash above the glovebox on the passenger side.
*sports steering wheel.
*SL/E door trims.
*some cheap nasty headunit with no speakers hooked up yet.

*Lowered with super low king springs all round, i have ultras for the rear to make it sit level.
*Gaurds have been rolled.


Performance:
*for what it is... quite surprising actually! unsure of any power figure doubt its all that much.


Future Mods:
*midnight express window tint.
*looking for a 5 spoke simmons look-a-like 17in wheel, polished lip/gold spokes.
*general tidy up of wires in engine bay and under dash (its quite messy).
*put rear ultra low springs in.
*get front bumper resprayed, and not making the same mistake the old owner did by not using the correct primer (this is why it has flaked so bad).
*gilmer drive (YES! they actually do make them for the Gemmi!!!).
*new floor mats, possibly new carpet depending how bad it is when i get around to having a look.
*replace drivers side taillight with a new one i already have, (old one has a broken lense).
*matte black the engine bay for a bit of a tidy up, the old paint is flaking and looks terrible.
* new sticker for rear window: "when i grow up i wanna be a commodore!"

well heres a few pics guys its dark now so i will get more engine bay and interior pics tomorrow

Looks the goods.

I'm not a fan of the current wheels, but the Simmons should look cool.
