Engine, blown head gasket at around 55K miles.
Replaced the engine and transmission with a Chevy 327 and TH 350 transmission. The stock rear end can't handle the power, second rear end is on it's way out.
The dash came loose, otherwise the body has had no issues.
Headlight mounts break easily.
Very nice looking car, it's still attractive 22 years later. No rust. Needs a spring upgrade with a V8 engine.
I have a 84 Spirit. It came with the 151 4 Cyl (no power at all!!). Any way I got the car with a worn out motor. I within a month had a 350 Chevy in it. I have since then upgraded the rear-end with a 9 inch. moved the spring mounts in and added home built sub-frame connectors. Well, the car has been parked for about the last 6 years or so. It was a blast to drive other things took over in life. I am Going to get it on the road again maybe the track too. I have a new motor ready to go in. Anyone have any luck finding Headers to fit the small block Chevy in this body. The more serious motor will help make it more fun, but will require headers! Can You Say Sleeper. I think they are solid cars with good lines. Stock not worth driving so go ahead and build them up.
