1983 Nissan EXA 1.5 review from Australia and New Zealand
"My bright orange rice rocket"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bad rust in the doors and chassis sills.
Carburettor vacuum hoses have been messed around with and set totally wrong.
Tires have worn badly through due to misaligned steering rack.
All auto-electrics have failed due to previous owner attempting to rewire things into the harness.
General comments?
Its tidy, runs alright, and has a lot of potential to be souped up.
The car has many obvious faults, but overall it seems to be a good buy for an old sports car.
The factory dash has completely been destroyed by UV light.
