1982 Toyota T18 review from Australia and New Zealand
"Brilliant!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator rotted out 2 years ago.
Cabin interior leaks.
Rust in tailgate and front roof, faded paint.
General comments?
This car is incredible.
It is used in a 40 km. round trip to work through the city 5 days a week. Has never failed to start, and never let me down.
It is economical and still fairly quick.
Doesn't blow smoke and everything inside and out still works.
6 years trouble free transport for $1800--beat that!
