Faults:

My head gasket went at 54,000km.

First engine; the piston went though the side of the engine block.

Rust here and there. Worst on the hood.

Electronic system could be classed as a bit dodgy, loses connections everywhere.

The gearbox is only a four speed, so it is hell on the highway, and that means it has a top speed of 95 km/h, 100 if it is downhill and with a tailwind.

She is starting to spit black stuff out the back.

It is painted brown.

Dashboard is badly cracked.

No Rpm gauge.

Parts are getting harder and harder to find.

General Comments:

My head gasket went 30km from home. Still got me home with cylinder 4 flooded.

Yet again, still got me home up a 10% gradient with only three working cylinders.

The cooling system is unbelievable, never goes higher than lukewarm on the highway, even though it is at 4000RPM.

Real fun in the dirt, but the back end is very lively.

It is a two door coupe, but who needs to have more than one friend in one's car?

Will always start in any weather after a bit.

Even with the problems out numbering the good points, it still runs perfectly.

Two door coupes are rare in Australia.

Faults:

Common to all cars that has been driven over these years and beaten by the weather, it rusts even after paint-job.

Radiator needs to be filled once a fortnight for less than 250ml.

All 4 steel rims have been badly dented, but still runs straight.

General Comments:

A damn bloody good car for anyone who needs a car to drive after receiving his/her license.

However, don't expect to get attention driving this car to college or University.

Full tank lasts about 2 weeks for city driving.

One helluva reliable car that will NEVER breakdown.
