2003 Gem E825, This GEM is in excellent condition and runs great.NEW BATTERIES - The GEM goes its own way in construction details, too. The frame consists of aluminum extrusions welded together. The overhead loops that serve as roll bars and roof supports are also aluminum extrusions bent to shape, powder-coated, and bolted to the frame. The fenders, the hood, and the cargo-carrying bustle on the back are fiberglass. Most of the other body parts are vacuum-formed ABS polycarbonate. The rack-and-pinion steering gear and the hydraulic 6.3-inch-diameter drum brakes at all four corners are real car parts from Italy's minicar industry. In front is a swing-arm suspension made of extremely beefy cast ductile iron. A simple live axle is used in back. Both ends have coil-over shocks.
