1980 Datsun Bluebird GL 1.8 petrol

Summary:

Typical Japanese - bomb proof

Faults:

Had smaller front collision damage when I bought it and didn't track properly. Front tires unevenly worn.

Fair amount of rust, but mostly superficial and not structural.

Brakes and handbrake cleaned, removed rust and dirt.

General Comments:

Typical Japanese car from this time period. Mechanically bomb proof and very little problems even with high mileage. Interior looks cheap but everything is durable and well made. Light steering and light and precise gear shift, easy to drive.

Front damage made me scrap this car, not possible to fix within economic means. Cheap throw away car.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
