1981 Toyota Corolla Levin GT review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great looker besides the rust"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rust, rust, rust.
Dead battery.
Fuel Gauge read half full as empty.
General comments?
Besides having to cut out all the rust, the mechanical side of the car just keeps on trucking. I brought the 3A-U version, apparently the 4A-G goes a lot harder and faster. Looks good for a '81, better than the newer shape.
