    A Gemini is a Isuzu Built Opel/Buick.
    In 1973 GM wanted to launch a T-Car to compete for the Small Car Market, The TA Torana had its day being under powered compared to its Rival Ford Escort.
    GM's T-Car was a Joint Effort between Opel,Isuzu and Buick.
    Opel supplied a Modfied Shell Different to the Opel Kaddett C
    Isuzu and Buick Supplied the Engine and Driveline.
    The Opel Shell was used from 1975-79 and was Sold as:
    Australia: Holden/Isuzu Gemini(1975-76,TX-TD) with G161Z 1600cc engine and carried Isuzu Badging. Click here to enlarge
    Holden Gemini(1977-79) the Models were changed over the Years Externally. Only Proper Opel Shell offered was the Wagon and Panelvan.
    Americas: Opel/Buick By Isuzu(1975-79)G180Z 1800cc Engine. They didn't sell well. only Coupe and Sedan offered. Also a Vauxhall Variant was sold as a Chevrolet Vannette.
    South Africa: Sold a Isuzu/Opel Gemini same Vehicle as Americas but a Utility was offered and was sold as a Chevy 500.
    Japan: Isuzu Gemini(1975-79) Gemini was offered in G180Z and Economy Engine G161Z and only Sedan and Coupe.
    After October 1979 the Opel shell was dropped for a New Isuzu designed Shell, 1980-81(TE) Interior was carried over from the Old Shell. 1982(TF-TG) a new interior was Offered and New Body Styling.Click here to enlarge (Note: Isuzu ZZ/R not offered in Australia, 1800cc DOHC Powerplant)
    April 1985 the Front Wheel Drive Gemini(RB or JT150) came powered 4XC1 1500cc and 4XC1T 1500cc Turbo, Only Non Turbo was offered in Australia and Basiclly that was the end of the Gemini here. Click here to enlarge (JT150 Turbo Irmsher R not Offered in Aust. Private Import Shown.)

    I could keep going but that enough info, Considering this a Opel Forum not a Isuzu Forum.

    Looking at the 2nd pic of the Kadett, makes me think hard about rebuilding an old KE70 Corolla like the one my dad used to have back in the 70's. Sheet I'm showing my age. I mean have a look at GAZ914. Click here to enlarge j/k!

    When I get my Own Place things that Will Happen:
    My Kaddet will be brought down and Restored Original Condition
    Build a Isuzu Bellett or a Datsun KH510 Race/Rally Car.
    And Re-spray the Astra :twisted:
