Air conditioning compression froze shut - had to bypass the pulley system with another belt.
All electrical wires are fragile, and insulation comes off easily after 31.
Have just finished spending hours cleaning all light bulb contacts, and replacing all light bulbs.
Rebuilt transmission.
Front suspension is a overworked due to the additional weight of the 6 cylinder engine.
Overall a bit sluggish, but once it gets going, is is very comfortable.
Have rebuilt all seats, to be expected after 31 years.
Great visibility.
People like the styling of the front end, too bad the real end looks as ordinary as a Swiss Brick.
Door handles are weak, had to rebuilt each door, with new handles and regrease everything to work smooth.
What do you expect for a 31 year old car!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Obviously practically EVERYTHING will need to be rebuilt/replaced at that mileage/age.
Owning and driving a car this old will require a lot of time and patience...that's why it's good to have another car to use as a daily driver.
Good luck!
Hmmmmmm. "Swiss Brick"... Swiss is Switzerland not Sweden!
