"The greatest thing on four wheels!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

When I bought the car the fuel pump was bad.

Right now the water pump is going out.

The carpet is shabby.

The headliner is falling.

The dashboard is slightly cracked and warped.

The blinkers are going out.

The tape deck don't work.

The Valve Cover Gasket Leaks oil.

I need new Drum Brakes.

On the trunk lid and the top of the car the paint is faded.

General comments?

The car is real quick and handles like a dream.

Overall the car is to big for me, I have to sit like two inches away from the steering wheel.

That's great Steven. I had most of the same problems with my 1988 beretta GT. it has 220 000kms...but it still runs. the funniest thing I noticed is that everyone's headliners are falling down. mine too... easiest solution --> don't drive with the windows down, because the glue sucks. and about your oil seal problem --> I fixed mine for 2.98 being a fairly new mechanic. I lifted the air plenum off (don't suggest you try this) and simply replaced it with a better seal. places say you have to hoist, but you don't, and really you don't even have to take the plenum off. good luck. AND NICE CAR! ;)
