Awesome
Almost everything, but it's an HSR, so that's what to expect.
Even with all the problems, I wouldn't sell it for anything. I've owned several quicker cars, but they don't have the character of the HSR.

Best car I ever had
The head gasket blew.
Fuel pump died.
Water pump died.
Starter motor died.
The clutch gave up.
This car from its faults, should in theory be my most hated car... In fact I loved it.
It was my first car and I still love the look of them (so much so I have just purchased a project chevette).
They stick to the road and handle well.
Also they are something just a little bit different on the road.

I will never forget..
Wings rusted. Cheap to replace.
Starter motor kept jamming until it went bang during a regular push start.
Alternator gave up after a year running with a dim battery warning light.
Carburetor would not adjust, resulting in a rich mixture that often left me stranded when the engine was half warmed up.
A valve spring broke while I was racing (and beating) a 1.3 Capri on the way home from Clacton.
My first car! I loved it even though it could only do 90, it leaked when it rained, it would not start when cold. I wonder where it is now.

I picked one of these up for a dealer in Manchester. I drove the car from Sussex, it had 14 miles on the clock, I made it to redhill in surrey when it lost power. I waited 2 days for it to be repaired. it needed new push rods.
I loved the little chevettes, simple good handling and cheap.
Miss those days.
