1983 Ford Meteor Ghia review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great car, never lets me down"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Coil went on first day of receiving the car, oil pump went at 160000, drivers seat starting to loose spring due to extensive driving.
General comments?
Excellent car, going to be sad when she goes.
Hoping to keep her for good and restore her back to original, no rust 2nd owner, few trolley scratches and polish marks where paint is thinning.
Hands excellent, great for cornering at high speeds, little trouble up hills, but great on the road, I get a average fuel consumption on 9lt pr 100km, straight high way driving and about 10-10.5lt pr 100km city driving.
It might be small, but she still goes.
