Front disc brakes need machining, rear brake drums already have been done.
Overheats like you wouldn't believe, 10 minutes and it's on 3/4.
RUST!!! It's everywhere! Along the roof lining, near front guards, boot etc!
Hole in the muffler.
Well, it was bought as a first car to learn to drive in! Well at least my sister wasn't going to die in a high speed crash!
It is very slow and when it is cold (temperature) it takes a very long time to get up to 60km/h. When it's warm, it's a bit more responsive.
Needs 2 people holding guards to get smoke peeling from the tyres, If you don't have a guard lift, NO CHANCE!
Good for your kids if you are worried.
Hi.
I have a corolla 1979 SE and it runs like a dream, but I must say the automatic isn't exactly the best model ever made out of the corolla.
And it sounds like the one you wrote about is in very poor condition, generally they are a fantastic car , especially with a 5 speed manual classic to drive, but just not the automatics :).
I've had the car for ten years. It's in good condition. It has been a very dependable car and never went into smoke like the one you were in. Try another '79 that is in better condition.
