Isuzu (not Opel) in FL

I know I know. It's not an Opel, but my 81 I-Mark sedan is pretty lonely.
I've been visiting the forum for awhile; Figured it was time to say HEY
Some parts interchange & the Kadett C is a close cousin so I hope y'all won't diss me too bad.

Been working on & around cars for a couple of decades.
Starting in NH at dealerships then Savannah both at dealerships & aftermarket suppliers.
I finally settled down, went back to school & got a BS in Health Sci.
Moved to Orlando, taught HS Science for a bit but these kids today can be wild
We had a student-on-student fatal stabbing my first month.
Change of plans - soon will finish either an MPH or MS in epidemiology.

I've had to scrounge for info on my little Isuzu; Found alot on AU sites for their version - Holden Gemini.
Considering the scarcity of available tech lit & parts on these earliest US Zoos I have been somewhat succesful at keeping her on the road.

I loved reading Heimues story on bringing his C back from Texas.
I'd seen that on Cardomain way back & am still amazed the PO sold it. Awesome score Sir.

Dieter is another member I've enjoyed reading about.
Here's a link & a couple of pix for him - a New Zealand Gemini for sale.
It's been reregisterd as a GT/E replica. Race ready & Opel powered!

Thanks again to Gary & all y'all for having me

Welcome. Sure many of us consider the Isuzu built versions to be Opel enough. I used to road race in SCCA showroom stock with both an Opel Ascona in SSB and Buick/Opel (Isuzu) in SSC and they had many very similar components. As you know, your I-mark is very much the Buick/Opel at the end of it's life cycle after Izuzu took over selling it here.
