1979 Mitsubishi Scorpion GH review from Australia and New Zealand
"Quick, but not too quick"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to replace the motor (easier and cheaper than rebuilding) as I wrecked the rings, it was using heaps of oil and had low compression.
Slight rust in the bottom of the front guards.
A few other minor problems that were generally because I done something stupid.
General comments?
Easy to get parts for as everything is interchangeable with standard Sigma parts, only problem I have is it is impossible to buy a service manual for it in Australia.
