hey im buying a 1983 gem wagon but im a bit worried about the chassis being bent thers nothing i can really see but when i took it for a drive it tended to the left a bit is there anyway i can check whether the chassis bent or if its just the alignment? (ie measurements or something?)

man 99.9% your wheels just need alignment. unless he had crashed it really bad...

gemini's pretty much don't have chasis's if it has damage in the engine bay the corner where the doors attach and places like that then yeah your chasis might be bent but other then that its probably just your wheels or steering gear.

Is it lowered? When you lower gemmys it shoves the diff over to the left a bit, which might be why it does it. I can barely notice it in mine, but it hasn't been lowered much. Whiteline sell a doobie thingo to fix this, ask Adam perhaps??
