1978 Datsun 180B GL review from Australia and New Zealand
"A cheap thrash car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A wire came off the distributor.
Seat belts have frayed badly.
Headlights don't always work.
Seat position adjuster has broken.
Driver side window has smashed.
Passenger door handle has broken.
General comments?
This is a great car for driving in the paddock.
The engine goes hard and has never broken down since I have had it.
The rear wheels have little traction in the wet, especially when the car is facing up hill.
