The ad read something cool about brother of Sandman and rival of Escort Sundowner , The Gemini Gypsy was Holdens Version . Save this car from the crushers .... Pics from the advert.
And on arrival . It was pretty obvious it was going to be run down but it wasnt too bad . Motor was gone and most parts were removed and stored in the back - including the guages and seats .. We left the car there and it was towed for us.
While waiting for an eternity we actually picked up some SL/E Rims that the Red Gypsy was missing from Jazzza . When we got back the Rust bucket had arrived and we swapped the flat tyres drained the water and had a search through the car .
Finding the badges that we hadn't seen yet and the Guages these cars are well known for .
Tartan seats were a special option for this Gemini and they seemed ok . Somehow survived in the back of the van .
Another surprise was the mint carpet ,underlay and spare wheel cover.
Ok so YUCK the car has/had good floors but has been out in the weather for a while and been collecting water , we made some drain holes and its seems solid and sound . Will inspect further soon .
Now for the bad . Mainly surface rust and some dents , Few options , new roof or try fix it .
This is the worst part of the car , The body is not rusted out but the roof is rooted. 
Parts Needed List :
SL/E Centercaps
TF TG SL/X Steering Wheel
Wagon Door Trims
Plastic Door Handle Surrounds
Fuel Door
Windscreen
TF TG Shift knob
Tape Deck
AC System
Oh yeah and this is the Goal - First step tho is to protect it from further damage . Then its gotta wait in line .
The next day i poured a heap of rust convertor onto the roof and rubbed it on with a cloth . Then i wanted to check out the floors .
Passenger side before
After scraping all the sound deadener off it revealed a good floor pan . Only one rusty hole which i punched out by accident .
Drivers side was just as good and nothing nasty was discovered here.
So i sprayed on heaps of rust convertor again .
Beaver is a little dented and has some f/glass in it .
Now for more Ugly .. Under the hood shots reveal a dusty engine bay with small rust on the right and repaired on the left . Aircon is long gone ,along with the motor . I did get a 5spd with the car though .. Im thinking G200/161 will fill this hole.
And the codes for Trim Paint etc
If anyone has any pictures of a Red Gypsy i would like to see them . I only have pictures of white or blue versions . Im going to try save the roof and see how it goes . Any ideas are welcome .
... the roof looks saveable in the pic's,you could cut a fill in section for the sun roof from a sedan.
. This is the sunroof repair panel. He also fit an extra roof bow directly under it .
