Try sodablasting over sandblasting....otherwise the poor Gem will come out with rippled panels. On the coast here there are a few mobs that come out and blast boat hulls out at the GC Marina. Cant remember the company names but like above...Yellow Pages,look under Marine Services if nothing is found...

Is the turbo Piazza box the only box with a steel centre plate?

Thought G200 were taller,hence the longer timing chain & timing case needed for the bigger motor? I bought a 1600 from an engine builder years ago,he told me it was a 240 thou overbore taking it to 2L I soon confirmed his story when #1 piston had a haemorage and blew out through the water jacket...

Youll need a tailshaft with the matching spline....

There are both fine and course splines used on the Gems

It doesnt happen when the pedal is all the way in, its only when you have tiny bit of weight on it, if i needa take the gbox out to fix it fug that ill just have a squeeky car in car parks haha... hate taking out the gear box. With the bearing clint it was on the wrong way first time around and the...

Tell em your having trouble finding someone and if they know of anyone they recommend,if not befriend a panelbeater oooor a short TAFE course on welding.

I use a harmonic balancer/crank pulley puller for the job. I think the threads in the wheel for the puller are M8 so use some M8 rod.. Makes it so easy and non-violent i wonder why people do it any other way. x2 The thread pitch is M8 x 1.25 so any common M8 bolt screwed into the 2 holes each side ...

Buy the hose to connect the manifold to brake booster as if thats not connected the motor wont idle....just use hoseclamps when fitting it.The tiny ones under carby....1 to the rocker cover and you can block the other off. If after the booster hose is refitted and it doesnt idle,you may need to keep...

Hey guys, Just quickly wondering. The carby that I have on my gemini, i pulled apart and cleaned (jets etc) then put back together. The car starts up with fuel through the jets, and if i hold the accelerator , continues to run. The car does not idle?? Is it the stock Nikki carby? Have you reconnect...

Wasnt there an original Holden sales brochure that had a lime green TD "Gypsy" van in it?

Was a post about it a while ago...

Theres a few bits to look for when buying a kit..... One of them is the microswitch and wiring harness on the heater controls on inside of dash. Dont forget the double crank pulley and the idler wheel for the AC belt. I scored a system that was from a Gem an air con mate owned that had been written ...

You didn't remove the diff housing I'm assuming, just added the welded up centre, so therefore it's not the alignment of the housing that will be kicking the car and besides, you can double check anyway with a tape measure to see that the diff is squared to the chassis. The thing I'm questioning is...

Locked diffs are fun, but I grew out of it quick. It's just too dangerous / unreliable for a road car. Too true!! I love a locker hey but in a daily...... :? in the wet...... :shock: its too much esp. with my son in the car too,can just see the officers face of sheer disgust and disbelief now LOL S...

Aussie early models are steel......Opels were plastic. Be aware that the early model covers wont fit the later TE/F/G's.The cover itself is smaller than the C pillar pressing. I paid $50 to have both mine plated....if ya prep them yourself youll save a bit. Strip the paint off them and sand them up ...
