 haha There is a fulla wrecking a gemini on trademe. I want to purchase the front (nosecone?) of it... im not sure exactly how the front end works on a gemini (pf50 style i think) but is it possible to pull it off in one unit? Like you would an rx3/4 etc. I havn't really had a close look at any of these old geminis so does anyone else know?

I was looking into it bro. Its kind of possible but you will need to remove the radiator support and the front valence, which will require grinding/welding. You HAVE to do it to a wagon though man! Find a chevette wagon and do the conversion. You will have the only one in the country!!!!

my chevette is having my tf front panels bonnet etc up front 'chevini' styles also gem dash and engine just to incorporate the gemini aspect a lil bit more. bonnet and guards match up perfect just have to modify where the bonnet latches and all the front {grill lights etc} bolts on. Wasnt sure if this had been done b4 so was gana keep it under wraps but obviously im not thge only gem nut out there! also saw an old entry by sum of u fullas about a chevy chevette conversion.. will b kinda like that but b bette lookn cos itsa gem!!

I dont want it on my sedan, but on a wagon like you said  Yeah i figure it wont be hard to pull off. As for fiting, it cant be that hard, they are basically the same car after all. Crazytim: f**k your the man bro! CHEVINI!!!! hahaa  |

Bought the good 1 for $1G bout a year ago jst wit an lsd and a paintjob, got the other 1 a few weeks ago site unseen frm welly off trade me, he was asking $2G but got it dwn 2 $1300 (realy wanted that engine,gas tank,etc etc etc etc etc) cost $470 2 get it here and i was mighty glad i didnt want the body, his idea of exc cond was a lil bit twisted! not 2 bad tho.
And thats what made the mrs get all that sand in her beef curtains, shes been all like F#$kn car... not good especially seeing she pushed me 2 get them both times!! she thort id got evrything i needed tho... heheheh need clutch cable accelerator cable coil leads etc etc etc oh well its only money!!!
