1981 Ford Laser KA review from Australia and New Zealand
"It is a great first time car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had to replace the engine after the timing chain went because it was stolen in 2001.
My break fluid container split about 950000km.
General comments?
My car is a great little car and since I have changed the motor (it cost about $600 for a second hand motor and installation), it has been a great car and I would recommend it to any first car buyer.
I have recently resprayed it and know it looks better than new.
