My First Car (but better) Isuzu Gemini Build - Part 1

The long awaited build of the Gemini begins! In this series of videos we’re going to transform this rusty old car to something really special.

Check out the Unicorn Circuit video on @mcmtv2 that made it happen

Facts: The Gemini is known as an Opel Kadett C in Europe and a Chevette in the USA and other places. It was a General Motors ‘world car’.

Nice to see you boost smaller channels/shows like Unicorn Circuit, those guys and us 40 and a half viewers really appreciate it!

An Aussie Opel Kadett C built! F-yeah I can say, can't wait to see all the episodes and the final result! 💪😎🤘🔥🔥🔥

The smooth black and white transition and Marty acknowledging the lack of screen color, is hilarious

[slosubies]

Mad props to Domino's for jumping into this.

[The_Nickers]

That little jazz-funk number playing while Marty is ripping the trim off is really nice. Good work Moog, if that was you.

*As seen on Wasabi Cars

That guy is a legend, he deserves a huuuge shout out.

[troydill]

Oh that was cheekily done. The fade to B&W was well-timed.

[paulryan]

Love how you guys are still doing the very same thing 16 years on, only now on a much larger scale because of the network you both have built, inspirational to say the least 👍🏻

I too delivered Dominos pizza in my gold Gemini coupe with tartan interior named Bad Gem. (Sticker on back window)
Out in Sydney’s west in the early 1990s. I had 13” 4 spoke chrome Dragways 😂 purchased from Bob Jane T mart.

I love the throwback videos like this. It shows young people that you can start knowing nothing and learn as you go. Trial and error is the best teacher in the world. Neve stop paying, guys. The world is behind you.

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.

The face Marty did when he got to look at the colour! Pure bliss in that man eyes!

First time I ever heard a Nick Skitz Mega Mix was in a Gemini ❤😂

Love em & miss them almost daily. Memories with my mates back in the day are the best & unforgettable. I had 3 coupes back in the 80's, a TX (yellow), TC (green) & TD (white). One with balanced, blueprinted 1600, twin 45mm side draft webers, cam, exhaust etc. Also member of the Gemini Car Club. Really looking forward to the series ahead !!

My first car was a vauxhall chevette here in the UK Poster was instantly bought . Got it when I was 17 for 200 pounds . So many memories .33 years later and I still miss it.

Boys I’m so excited about this build. I have a 1979 Datsun Stanza that’s in restoration mode. Looking forward to see what you do with it!

[aihagen]

I have had about 10 of these but as Opel Kadett, everything from 1.2L to 2.4L, awesome cars and so easy to work on

[moosenbeans]

I want to take a moment to thank you mates for you humor ingenuity craftynesss. Filming voice over editing. All spot on. I live in the states and with the utter insanity. It’s nice to find you 2 guys just a messing around with older cars. Thanks mates

[trickysubject]

I like Chevettes, the uk had a 2.3litre 16valve slant 4 hatchback known as a HS/HSR, it was a beast introduced in 1978, 135bhp, 135lb ft torque.
Changed direction like a kitten chasing a spider, quick for its day.
This Kadett style will be a great little restomod, can’t wait?
Thanks MCM for all you do. 🙏🏼

Great to see Dan @WasabiCars get a shout out.

Excellent content and his YouTube channel deserves a lot more views than it gets.
