1976 Holden Gemini TX- TD Front review from Australia and New Zealand

Heads/head gaskets. Diff/axles.

Bad squeaky front end (new bushes) etc.

Steering rack, all needed to be replaced...

I have gone through several motors, due to the fact that I blow them up. But you can give them a hiding, they will last for a long time.

A lot of electrical faults. Mostly ignition problems.

The car is a weapon, it's taken me years to build it to its current condition. The final result is amazing.

I have owned a lot of Geminis, and I intend to own more...

The hardest part was the fuel injection, I got sick of having to fiddle with the carby set-ups that I had. If you want to own a modern style Gemini, injection is the way to go. I picked my whole setup up for $400, bargain... that included a (old) microtech computer and loom and sensors, manifold/plenum/throttle body.

My next mission, is to get electronic ignition, apparently you can get it from later model Jackeroo's and Rodeos. But I am yet to find it for a reasonable price. The best so far was $125 for the distributor alone, private sale. not bloody likely.

Anyway, the car is fast and fairly reliable, especially in stock form, it handles amazingly, and is an excellent all-round car, I recommend them to anyone.
