im baaaaaaaack. using avatar #2 because i don't own a gemini any more so gemininja doesnt really work.
anyway i took half a day off and went down to Tauranga to check out the estate, found very little rust that bothered me- more than i hoped but less than i expected. brought it, picking it up this weekend.
step 1 i need to get the 1256 running for a while, hes put a replacement engine in after last owner blew the shiit out of the old, one but it has issues. step 2 it needs to be legalized.
from there i have big plans involving an engine, wide steelys, and a lot of rat boso styling. and likely a bed.
it needs a passengers door, a chevette hatch door will fit? colour doesnt matter much, just rustless. anyone?
and i need to decide on a motor.. bike carb G series, 4z with megasquirt, or 2.4 slant..
its good to be back xD

Is this the yellow one?
Only a wagon door is going to fit unfortunately!
I'd go G series on bike carbs. If you shave the head the chuck in a decent cam with harder valve springs and maybe do some home porting/polishing you should go alright.

yeah im thinking lumpy G161 with bike carbs will be the easiest. and the only expensive part is the carbs. i can use a single until i get them sorted as well which is a plus. anyone with a g161 and box? 4 or 5 speed, and a diff. prefer one with disk rears if i can track one down.

nevrev is in west aucks and has sweet G200s and G161s... sells a lot of stuff via tard me. He is the dude selling the turbo convo amongst other stuff. Road trips are all good but to get a commonly found engine? lol I have a sweet 4spd you can have for swt FA and possibly an engine too... unknown condition, or engine thats mated to the 4spd has bklown rings but ran sweet (apart from plumes of smoke...) need to lose some excess weight. Anyways I owe you an engine/box... red wag is running the engine/box that you lost all that money on when we wnet halves on that sedan... you can have some free stuff back.

Flat mate has a ca18de + 5spd + Loom and computer for $500, only cost about $130 to ship to auckland...
The g200z could be yours for less than that
