1980 Holden Statesman WB review from Australia and New Zealand
"We were made for each other."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to replace the water pump.
The arm for the plunger in the mechanical fuel pump snapped.
Re-build the brake booster.
General comments?
My car is awesome to drive because its old school.
Could do with a paint job if I had the money.
It's not made for going fast; she is a cruiser.
