The Gemini TX Holden factory was built at Acacia Ridge, Queensland and contained a high percentage of Australian content.
All TX models to share the same 1.6-liter SOHC Isuzu (encrypted with the G161Z). The engine was powered by chain and head design incorporating a cross-flow alloy. A two-barrel "Nikki" Stromberg carburetor was used on the models of Australia. The TX early models used a free flow cast iron exhaust manifold with two outlets in a "Y" pipe is used (this point is commonly switches used by the later models).

The first generation Gemini coupe body was built by engineers from Opel in Germany and fed by a 70 hp (52 kW) SOHC engine made by Isuzu 1g13c 1300 Japan and Australia Holden said engine power was not introduced to the market, only used in the rally races and other events, etc.

The TC Gemini sold between March 1977 and April 1978. This model received a facelift of minor TX, the appearance was enhanced by a bolder front grille vertical, and in the back is a silver lining panel (compared to the TX / black). A new Smiths brand heater, defroster and ventilation system was used, the two small holes at each end of the board were removed in this model, except vehicles equipped with air conditioning.
A "Fashion Pack" interior is now available in two sedan and coupe models, this option has been updated to add radial steel belt and a front stabilizer bar. Side door impact beams were introduced to improve safety and SL coupes now had a moon Heated rear.
In April 1977, a limited edition "Sandpiper" model also is offered in both sedan and coupe body shapes.

Outside were easily identified by the word "Sandpiper: and a bird sticker, this was the quarter back of the coupe, and the rear door sedans.
TD (19781979)
The TD series was introduced in April 1978, the most important change with respect to TC being the introduction of "radial Tuned Suspension" (RTS) and the option of a five-speed manual transmission. The difference was replaced by a small unit of Salisbury as used in the UC Torana, used Timken tapered wheel bearings found in all Holdens highest since mid-1971. In April 1979, the rear brakes were changed to Commodore-back principal rear drum assemblies.
outward appearance was changed with the introduction of a new grille, rectangular headlights models (at base), the wheels were now 13 "x 5" rear license plate was relocated to the place of the rear trim panel. A van and a car three doors were also added to the range, the rear body is pressed the British Vauxhall Chevette range / Bedford Chevannes.
The SL / E version used many options interior of the therapeutic community "Sandpiper" series, such as radio / cassette, four-spoke steering wheel, wood dash inserts, velvet seat upholstery, carpets, loop the loop and the wood (particleboard) is attached the door trim.
Externally, the appearance has been enhanced to include stainless steel lights and grille surround, thick stainless steel window frames and door frame GM H-design alloy wheels similar to the Sunbird SL / E. Coupe and sedan had color-coded side mirrors similar to the Sunbird SL / E and The Sandman HZ, door trims were extended to cover the top of the doors.

TE (19791982)
19791982 TE Holden Gemini SL Sedan
The second generation, introduced in October 1979, received major design changes. The body was now more square with a new front and rear, the style has been compared with the VB Commodore of the same period and carried out the design of the Isuzu Gemini from the same period. For then, the Opel Kadett was back to front wheel drive and the likeness of the original C Kadett disappeared.
The TE is the most popular out of all Gemini selling more than 70 000 units. Initially only available as a sedan in February 1980, the Panel Van and Station Wagon were added to the line above, Coupe was no longer available. The luxury SL / E version was also removed from the lineup, replaced with a SL / variant X. In 1981, the TE was introduced to New Zealand in replacement of the British Vauxhall Chevette home range.
A limited edition "Gypsy" panel was made available in February 1980 and offered with a tachometer and gauges on the console. Individual seats were available plaid (a checkered past different from other Geminis). Treatment The Gitano is crossed out door grille and window surrounds, square headlights and chrome bumpers full headliner and carpets Length (regular vans had vinyl flooring as standard. Gypsys is now a collector's Gemini model, with original examples with an estimated value of over AU $ 10,000 to avid collectors.
Engine options remained the same, in early 1981 the option of a standard 1.8-liter diesel Isuzu introduced a gearbox 5-speed M76 was standard for all diesel models. All Geminis diesel is only available as an SL / X five-speed manual. Rhone color green was available only for diesel but the color range can be ordered too.
TF (19821983)
TG 1983 Holden Gemini SL / X sedan
The facelifted Gemini TF series was released in March 1982. All new models treatments acquired grid and SL / variant X received discharge headlamps. The interior received major revisions with a new dashboard (creating the impression of more space vehicle) and a steering column that got behind the wheel moved in accordance with the driver, instead of at an angle toward the center of the car. The style is often compared to the then current Commodore VH wide but in fact the style was introduced in the Isuzu Gemini in 1981 and carried through the Australian model.
TG (19831985)
1983 TG Holden Gemini SL / X sedan
The TG series was released in March 1983. The SL and SL / X versions of TG looked exactly like the TF SL / X, with lights flush head, plastic bumpers and taillights similar to that of a VH Commodore. However, the basis of the TG model continued the theme of TF, with many examples and FT confusing for models. Base model vehicles had vinyl seats, no clock or a cigarette lighter, and not around the console shifter.
In 1983, a performance model, named the ZZ / Z (triple zed). The ZZ / Z has always been of silver, with a body kit consisting of a front bar, the wind spilters Senior guards, a Bobtail boot spoiler, alloy wheels and blue and black ZZ / Z stickers. It is often perceived as the ZZ / Z comes with twin-cam engine that was used in the Isuzu Gemini ZZ / R in the same time, however, the ZZ / Z train arrived with the standard of performance of other models. A manual gearbox five standardutomatic speed transmission was not a choice.
