1987 Holden Camira review from Australia and New Zealand
"Never buy a camira, they're a waste of money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Pretty much everything has gone wrong with this car. It has needed a whole engine rebuild. I have had it for at least 2 years and still have not got it running. A lot more problems have occur-ed since I have got it.
Opened up the engine at 170000km and needed full gasket set into it.
Compression Leaking into cylinders, Valves not seating properly, crack in-between valves.
Paint has gone down due to sitting outside for a very long time.
General comments?
Haven't driven it yet so don't know too much about it yet...
