1980 Mitsubishi Scorpion GH review from Australia and New Zealand
"Cheap sports car for the first car buyer :-)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bought second hand for $200.
Has a lot of rust around the bottoms of the doors and in the rear passenger side wheel well.
Screwy electronics, broken fuel light, etc.
Pool of oil in the air filter.
Gets into third and doesn't change down automatically.
Unresponsive transmission.
Busted rear shocks.
General comments?
I'm currently doing this car up, hence the problems it has. Despite the problems listed, I believe it has potential to be a really sweet little cruiser :-)
It has a good body shape and I find it to be a generally smart looking car.
