    A USA 1976 Isuzu/Opel (Gemini Coupe) was my 2nd car in 1982! I added a Weber carbie, "frenched" the turn signals and door handles and painted it yellow. I loved it because NO ONE even knew what it was. Neither did the car parts store. 2 years later I had to junk it because I couldn't get any parts.

      That said, a friend of mine has one that he's swapped a Subaru EZ30 into, behind the seats. It's absolute madness, to the point that it's had to be taken down to the shell and seam-welded because it was tearing itself apart.

      Dry ice is by far the easiest and quickest way, turns an hours long job into a few minutes.

    The EGR valve, the ignition coil - those things may go away, but if you haven't learned anything from Bad Obsession Motorsports ...
    KEEP THE BRACKETS!
    When you realize you need a place to mount something, you might find that EGR bracket is great for some controller box, and the coil bracket will hold your fuel filter. There's even already a place you might be able to put the bracket, without drilling new holes and adding nutserts.

    Well done guys! I can understand the hard work going into this build, my TE Gemini doesn’t have much rust but what it does have is currently being cut out and replaced, it’s a huge time and cost but I’m happy I have a very clean tidy car that I can still drive around while having some rust removed.
    Can’t wait to see this when finished and hopefully see this Gemini at the Gemboree 2024 in Mount Gambier in November

    Did my lessons and test in a Gemini.
    Ground up Rebuilt an Opel Manta B here in Australia in 2013, they are very similar, strut towers torque tube etc, this build is already giving me flashbacks.
    Looking forward to the rest of this!

    11:28 Tip for next time you're fighting these bitumen sheets: dry ice. Just throw some dry ice in, let everything cool down and then tap it with a rubber mallet. It'll all shatter and come off clean and easy. No need busting your knuckles and scraping it all off in little chunks at room temp. ;)

    FINALLY!!!! LOL. Been looking forward to this build since you've had the car Marty. Watched this episode as soon as I saw it.
    Your first Gemini brings back memories. I had exactly the same model and colour Gemini back in the young years. Loved it and had fun driving it. Was about to start doing mods with it when I got t-boned by a lady coming through a give way sign and writing it off. It was a sad day in deed.
    Hanging out for the next video already.

    Look forward to seeing the finished result.

    Ah man, so excited for this build! I just thought this car was such a weird nugget back all those years ago when you guys bought the car, and about three years ago one of my now best mates had a C Kadett. Best shitbox ever. Had a tape stuck in it that only played 'what is love' and I miss that car every day. Can't wait to see the result!

    What a way to end an episode we've all been waiting so long to see 😂
    As someone possibly a little older than you Marty seeing this build is bringing back some memories of my own from when cruising around as a teen.
    We had a conversation a few years back at Penrith supercheap about my intention to build a gemgem as a circuit car but sadly it worked out cheaper to buy an early BMW 315i and drop the 5ltr ìnto it.
    So looking forward to the rest of the series and hopefully seeing the old girl out in the wild in the future 🫡
