1982 Ford Meteor GA review from Australia and New Zealand
"It has treated me well for a first car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My flange gasket blew, Cheap to fix.
Brake line cracked, Cheap to fix.
Manifold cover started glowing red, since been removed.
General comments?
My Meteor is quite slow, almost seems like it does 0-100 kms in about 20 seconds.
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas or suggestions, that I could do to my car, remembering I'm poor, to make it go faster and look better.
All advice would be appreciated.
I have had my little beast doing 170 km's, but decided to slow down, as I was going down hill and I swear it had the death wobbles.
I want to get a body kit or something for it to make it look better and take off the strips on the doors and quarters.
Let me what you think.
