1980 Holden Gemini SL review from Australia and New Zealand
"Unbeatable for cult appeal"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rust in the boot floor, doors and rear quarter panels.
Window seals have perished to the point where they let water in.
Usual mechanical problems with a 21 year old car!!
General comments?
The easiest car to fix ever, with parts available at the corner store. Everyone you know has either owned one or was driven around in one when they were a kid.
