1985 Mitsubishi Magna Astron II review from Australia and New Zealand
"The car is a bargain for what it's worth"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rust on the rear right of the roof.
Exhaust leak from front exhaust line.
Rear right tire wears badly.
General comments?
The car is a sweet ride if you put the time and care into it.
As a P plater I have to make it look good and sound good.
I've got some pumping Pioneer 7x10's and 6x9's, including a pioneer deck and amplifier,1000w sub.
The car can take anything you put into it, including my 4" exhaust and 1996 4 cyl skyline engine into it, changed from auto to manual, and fitted with an awesome skyline gearbox.
Enjoy.
