Very nice Wayne, but would be even better if you posted some bigger pix via a host like photobucket (as per the tutorial in the Welcome section)  :whistler:

Gemini looks like what used to be known as the Opel Kadette here a good few years back now, I rated them much better than the equivalent Vauxhall Chevette.

That car reminds me of one of my pickup lines when I was much, much younger.

"I'm a Cancer, but my car is a Gemini"

Yep they are prone to rust that's for sure. Just like my other one that I have stripped at the moment. Needs new boot, floor pans, sills, around the back windows and fuel filler. Got the whole cancer package. Don't think I'll have that one done soon...

Yes they are getting rarer. Most of the good ones seem to be in Melbourne or Perth.

Looking good, Wayne.. :goodjob2:

Being a holden, wouldn't it come with a 6 or 8 cylinder engine... :question:

Anyway, here's the Opel Kadett PK refered to:

No mate they were all 4 cyl. They had a 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0L engine's in them all. Although in some states you can engineer them to put a V8 in them  :Shocked: with many modifications and upgrades though.
