1970 Holden Torana LC review from Australia and New Zealand
"Unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Motor stopped working correctly, but I fixed it.
CD Stromberg carburators are very unreliable.
Rear brake line packed it in.
Master brake cylinder ceased up.
Seats are not adjustable (horizontally)
No space for head-unit (stereo)
Bonnet does not open far enough.
Bonnet opens from front (does not lock)
Boot leaks.
Missing extras (heater fan, temp gauge, radio, tachometer)
Motor too small.
General comments?
The car needs re-designing.
Not much rust.
Very small.
Large space for speakers and subs and amps.
