Names Brad. I'm living in Hamilton and I have a black 1982 TE wagon. Its nearly up for sale as I have a Vauxhall wagon thats my main project. Hopefuly ready for a Twincam conversion soon.. but probably not! Good effort Leon for getting a site up and running, possibly not enough gemi owners in nz for one but I'm willing to give it a try! hah Brad haha notalota gemi owners aye? almost been a year since this post, imagine another year!! bring on oldskool nationals!! Whoa... 3 more years have slipped by... who has actually done what they said they were gana do... not Barry Whiteing me! Done 2 others tho so not so bad... |

[glow=red,2,300] UPDATE YOURSELF...[/glow] hi im crazy tim i am a scorpio and like walks on the beach at sunset... haha i gota chevette hatch p&p all done in slime green currently having gemini 1600 rebuilt with 5 spd twin webers extractors and one loose nut holding the steering wheel! front of car about to undergo tf gemini conversion making it the chevini. also hava donor chevette hatch and i am currently looking in2 purchasing a 3rd... i have problems... c u tim Holy poop... lold when I just re-read this... green Chevini has had almost nothing done to it in 5 years. Hoping to see most of the work done by years end as I finally have some cash to do things... Donor Chevette was cheaply restored and is now the black Chevini which is going into the shop next weekish for G200z, twin Weber IDFs, Extractors, 5spd, gem diff & rust... The 3rd I mentioned above has to be the wagon shell I bought off geminimad (he mentions it in his introduction on page one) which is now my daily after a 3yr lazy as fuk build. I also have 3 other wagons on the property at the moment, one is a TE rusty as hell partser (99% complete tho) and that came with my former daily which was taken off road early December for a refresh, the Red TF wagon and the other wagon is my long term wagon project which I have barely touched, Chevette Estate with nose chopped off, it is to undergo Gemini frontal transplant taking on the Appearance of a TC wagon or Kadett Karavan... a rarity in this country. Advice to all you Mrs Funt'maRunts is work on one or 2 at a time, you don't get anywhere with 5 projects!  (well you do in time if you stick to it...) |

Hi, I'm Troy, or Yamz, or Yammies.....
I'm currently awaiting pickup of up to 5 chevettes from whakatane
in the next couple of weeks, one of which will become my main road project (which I might have mentioned elsewhere on the site), and one of which will end up as a hobby gravel sprinter used at local car club events.
My frst car was a vauxhall chevanne (2 door wagon with locally fitted rear seats to avoid taxation issues and import tariffs at the time) So I guess I caught the bug from there....
I'm a diesel mechanic working for one of those Govt outfits... so hopefully I know what I'm doing....
