1983 Ford Meteor GL review from Australia and New Zealand
"Sweet first car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Previous owner got the carby overhaul and replaced rings at 180000k
when I got her the only thing I had problems with was the dizzy,so I replaced electric dizzy module and the ignition coil and she drives sweet..
The interior has worn out a little and shes got a little rusty, but is still looking good.
General comments?
She's a very reliable car that has very good comfort,is very good at take off...
A great little project car, handles extremely well for its age, no wear and tear on the suspension at all, and takes corners very well especially at high speeds.
