1979 Holden Torana UC review from Australia and New Zealand
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Flywheel teeth chewed by the starter motor.
Rust holes under the rear passenger door.
No heater.
Clutch is starting to wear.
Has trouble starting in hot or cold weather.
The starfire motor chews heaps of petrol.
5 litres for about 20 km.
General comments?
My car is not quick at all, but I beat a Gemini 1600 :)
