Anothe one bites the dust
Anothe one bites the dust
Just sent a gem off to the crusher
So the story goes when i was looking for a first car i found to yellow gems.
Both had good points and bad point so i was going to make one good one out of the two but then i came across the red te and scrapped that idea and both yellow ones sort of got forgotten. so i finished getting all good stuff off one and sent it off to car heaven as such.
OOPS
The car wasn't a complete lost cause but there's no calling for gems around here let alone one that needed that much work.
I saved all the hard to come by bits off it like the chrome strips and petrol flaps etc.

Sell it around here haha it all about rice burners here.
there wasnt too much rust but where it was it was really bad and the pics dont show all the ripples. I didnt realise that the door handles were hard to come by and the mirror i forgot about until just befor it rolled over.
The car will be there for ages so if there not damaged i'll go back and get the door handles atleast.

Oh that's nothing, I can see a million different things that could be salvaged from that.
This is stripping a Gem...
From this:
(Didn't actually look too bloody bad from that side)
To this:
And I still took the doors off, cut one of the sills out, and probably could still have taken some more metal out of the chassis in some places.
The only things I left on that weren't part of the chassis, was a busted headlight, and the rear trailing arms which I forgot about.
I then cut the body into eight pieces which were hauled away in a courier van.
Still have a lot of the parts off it to sell as I'm an early gem specialist. Was an SL/X so had the tacho dash, passenger dash tray, badging, digital clock etc...
