"Hard to beat out of 37 cars :D"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The car was not well looked after by last owner it got hot on the freeway on the way home and the tyres where very pour...very, but all very easy fixed.

General comments?

I recently got this little 1800 4WD wagon for $300 a good talk down from $850,

She's got a bit of rust, but I'm onto it like lightning and its coming along good. At first it was hard to give up my GXL ford Fairmont and ford XA 302 but I don't have any bad comments to make on it, It's a hard working little car, it pulls a trailer and it handles well.

And now I'm customising the body and trim and I plan to do some air brushing on it now.

My 1982 subaru has the same problem of heating up on the freeway and then cooling down as soon as you hit some traffic - the complete opposite of most other cars. How did you fix it? I have a pretty big bull bar on the front, it seemed to be cutting airflow - I cut a hole in it in order to get more air at the radiator and it worked pretty well. (my subaru has air conditioning - the air conditioning radiator is in front of the radiator - this wouldn't help matters.) Any other advise.
