1979 Datsun 120Y review from Pakistan
"Extremely fuel economical and trust worthy vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No major fault. Only routine maintenance for wear and tear.
Required 3 paint jobs.
Body rusts pretty soon.
General comments?
Extremely fuel economical and trust worthy vehicle. Been with me for 24 straight years, and still going string. Needed just one engine overhaul in 22 years.
