Hey people
My car is still on defect till 28th and i've been tring to find a decent rust repairer in Adelaide. It's coming up for inspection for a carby-weber and bonnet scoope which i've fixed, but there's little patches of rust they might defect me for.

Yes it is defectable specially the side ones in the engine bay as that is a structual point and a big job to fix but if you can just do a quik fix to get it passed but not like gene said cos they use a screwdriver to check the problem ereas..

cheers

All the spots you describe are defectable. Steve at Just Geminis repairs rust no worries and Regency know his work. (It's not uncommon for them to ask if it was done at Just Gemini's) You can contact him at the workshop on 82587722.

I guess the question is:

Do you want it done cheap?

or

Do you want it done right?

Steve is fairly good at getting Geminis off defects, and I'm sure he's done those panels near the bonnet hinges so many times, he can do them asleep with his hands tied behinds his back and a pitbull on his balls.

There's a fair bit of fabrication to be done in those two small areas along.

For the floor, you can get cut'n'shut floor pressings from Rare Spares (or the online shop banner at the top of the webpage) and they're moulded to the original shape of the floor with all the ridges and bumps and shit.

The rear floor where the wheel goes - well, that's more fabrication from scratch. And so on and so on.

But get it all cut out and you'll never EVER want to sell you Gemini because you would have spent so many dollars on it, you know you'll never get any where near the same amount back.

But that's not what it's all about....
