Howdy guys,
After quite a few years of looking I finally have myself my own Gazelle.. Two in fact.
I've been after an '85 for quite a while(born in 85 just thought it was nice to have a car the same age as I am).

Back on the 16th of June I picked up a nice '85 from Morpheus_s13 here on the forums.
I got a few days off work at short notice, Flew from Mackay to Melbourne. Jayce delivered it to the airport for me at 11:30 at night(huge thanks) even though he lives hours outside in Shepparton.
Drove to Albury that night and got there at 4am, at 10am I then drove to Sydney and parked it at my Sister's house until I can get back down and flew back to Mackay the next day.
Heading back down next week to drive it back up

At my sisters house

About three days after I got back, there was an '84 auto for sale in the pocket trader, seeing as I needed a few parts to tidy up the '85 I talked the owner into a deal and picked that one up aswell, It's white, very clean interior but mechanically not too good

I feel there would be some s12 entuisiast some where in Qld that would be interested in an s12 for conversion purposes or resteration, it looks too GOOD to strip out just for a couple of interior lense. Nice tidy vehicle.( Both of them )

I'm jelly of your white one. Always wanted a white gaz

Sorry boys, No plans to part either of them out.
No big plans for them at the moment, just want to get the silver one nice and mint, Clean it up and use it as a daily. Somewhere down the track when I get some more funds I'll give it a respray and an S13 front end.
Going to swap out the broken seats with the white ones and a couple of small interior pieces (silver has the Beige/Brown and White has the Blue interior but that doesn't bother me).
Interior of the White

That's the only pic I have at the moment. I will post up some more later.
Another interesting thing, With the silver one I got a set of what Morpheus_S13 said to be the original wheel chocks that I had never seen before

After a dig through the white one I discovered the same chocks, unused and still sealed in plastic.
