1979 Holden HZ review from Australia and New Zealand

Blew up the 3 speed auto box doing burn outs.

Stuffed the water pump.

Snapped the wiper selector, just pushed too hard.

Needed a new ignition, they say you can't take the key out when it's going these days.

Four tyres, the old lady didn't know what pressure they needed.

Fuel gauge doesn't work some, little idiot needed some fuel and his hose was too long, which bumped my gauge.

The paint is shot - scratched all over the shop.

Bit of rust, but nothing a bit of putty can't fix.

And nobody makes the chrome stripes that go up the side of my car, so I had to pull them all off.

Once all the little bits got fixed it is a dream to drive. I'm only 16 and it's my first car on the road, and I love every second I get to drive it.

I got a full 2 inch exhaust and muffler done at Carline, I would definitely recommend it.

And it might use some fuel, but at least it's being used in the right car.

I got the car given to me so it was at a good price.
