It is worse than what it looks
I just got owned to the tune of 200 hard earned Bucks
The guy is laughing


Oh well it goes good apparently, when i put a new clutch in it. Any hints.
And the rust hole. How to fix? Surely something this bad has been fixed before

Its 1977 TC and its a real shitbox to put it politley.

So i had the gemmy started today. The mini batt got it to work. And i set to putting the foot down and making the engine work. It was so noisy and sounded extra sweet , it was great. The clutch is blown in it so it wont drive - but if the accelrator is flat to the floor the vehicle will move a few centimetres.

At least i know i can sell the engine for 50 bucks - it goes well.

Were the F is that Hole

That hole is the left side of the boot. But the whole boot is pretty well gone too.
a friend gave me a super idea and i am going to have to go with it. Im going to cut the boot end off, the back end where the rust is, and weld some of that corrigated iron sheeting over the back of it. I think that will be funny.

it did take some thinking about. , but then I got it.

you've bought a new GE-mini.

There never was any doubt that the GE was going to be a paddock basher, save the mini from being hammered in the paddock , And it does get a hammering .
Well the car has been up on ramps for weeks waiting for me and mates, if/when they come around, to hack at the clutch and try to shove another one in it.

So that will be fun

Took to the gemini with a spanner . didnt know what i was doing. I just pulled poked screwed bashed anything that looked like it needed pulling poking crewing or bashing. I took all the bolts out around near the engine near the clutch place, and then i did all the bolts around near the gearbox, seeing if i could just plonk it out! But it didnt go, So tomorrow i will need to give it a bashin so it will fall out
