Faults:

Mini spool destroyed tires

Gearbox linkages sloppy

Bad floorpan and bottom of guards rust.

General Comments:

No diff problems with a 9 inch.

Tough looking burnouts.

Get used to great handling on dirt, and steering wheel position and are great to drive.

13 inch tires that look wide enough getting harder to find.

Faults:

Rust in the front floor-pan.

Minor rust around the rear window.

Steering coupling broke.

Clutch needed replacing (caused by a nut behind the wheel).

General Comments:

Fantastic power/weight ratio.

Visibility not as good as later models.

Very cheap and easy to do up. Noticeable improvements when some newer technologies are applied (e.g electronic ignition).

Not comfortable for long drives, best suited to 1/4 mile bursts.
