I'm getting it for $1800 NZD, so it's an ok buy. No rust at all and minimal things that need fixing. I'll prolly keep you all updated with how it goes by asking annoying questions.

Cheers,

cheers bro,
i'm pretty excited aye, it's been a while since i had a good drive in a gem. The older ones are pretty damn rare in NZ too so its pretty cool. Most people had no idea what my TD sedan was when i used to drive that around, so i'm guessing this'll be even stranger to them. It's all good.

I have a bit of money to work with this time too, which is good.

Yea, it's an isuzu and those mirrors are factory up there. My sedan also came with the same type. I would sell them to you, but it might not be worth it sending them from New Zealand over to you. It's up to you, I'll be taking them off anyway becuase I don't really find they work that well for me, so if you want them there may be a bit of shipping coasts involved.
cheers

COOOOLL!! Original TC's in that good nick are hard enough to find here as well. Mainly because there were stuff all TC's made compared to all the other models.

Yea, i've only seen 4 coupes in my life, and surprisingly, less sedans of the older model gems (about 2). They are very rare here. It's even hard enough finding a g200 Razz

Original Fish??
My first car was a TC Coupe, Absynth Yellow with the original 4 hole hubcaps and vertical slot grille, exactly like zeps. Tossed the caps for mags, bashed the guards so the tyres didn't scrub, cut the grille to fit driving lights, fitted a half cage... if only I'd known then what I know now. Smile
