1974 Datsun 120Y review from Australia and New Zealand

"A rusty pile of crap"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Front clip on the brakes broke so disc pins rub on the rim.

Number three cylinder ceased to survive.

RUST!!!

Back rest on the driver's side seat broke.

General comments?

If the car was lighter (remove bonnet, boot, seats etc) the car would do burn-outs with ease.
