Faults:

Suspension completely worn when we bought it, replaced all 4 springs and shocks, bushings, ball joints, etc.

Replaced front brakes.

Rusty but little structural rust, only patched the sills but no replacement.

General Comments:

Ridiculously slow when loaded, this was a 2 seater wagon. We just needed a cheap wagon for local deliveries and transports, and this did the trick.

Good on gas, almost half compared to a Transit and one third compared to an Econoline (with petrol inline 6, yes the name is kind of a joke when you look at the petrol consumption).

Extremely reliable, but in the end the whole wagon was falling apart and not worth fixing.

Faults:

Battery died.

Water pump wrecked.

Re-rung a few years ago.

Window winding mechanisms badly worn.

General Comments:

Very fuel efficient for such an old car.

This car was given to me by the last owner, who was unable to sell it even to wreckers!! Very poor resale value.

Rear seating is quite cramped, however the front seats have HEAPS of room. I'm 6'5" and I have all the leg room I need and more.

No leaks in the cab from rain.

This old girl just goes and goes. I'd confidently drive it from Sydney to Darwin or Perth.
