"Good car to drive as its cheap to run and gets the job done"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Timing Belt at about 88 000.

Oil Sensor was gave up needed Genuine GM part which was quite costly compared to a generic one.

Thermostat had been replaced with wrong one and was cut to fit which meant it didn't work.

Interior trim is quite flimsy like.

Has a bit of surface rust in a few areas.

Rear wheels off centre and scrape on guard if driving friends around.

General comments?

Very economical.

Idea car for first car or second family car runabout.

Stock radio good, but when upgrading to after-market CD player most likely need to get it installed as special keys required to remove radio/Cassette.

Just an update. Car has done a few more K's and have recently had to replace the radiator which also discovered that there was a stray currant running through the cooling system. Had to be fixed quickly as was likely radiator would fail. One visit to local Auto electrician resulted in a damaged left hand guard, front bumper and scratches to bonnet from a 4WD Ute reversing into me. Kind of worked in my favour due to rust being cut out of bonnet and resprayed and faded bumper replaced. So looks quite nice now.
