bad points: they drive the wrong wheels, when chipped they are a handful, they rot under the bodykits

Just gone through all this with one..... see here http://bbs.rsownersclub.co.uk/showthread.php?t=126905

Bad points on them are

Fuse Box panel rots " " " "
Front panel behind the bumper rots,
Front and rear of the sunroof rots
inner sills rot near the front of the rear wheels
outer sills rot near the front of the rear wheels
front floor wells rot
so does the whole floor pan including seat mounts
Rear chassis rot badly
behind the rear wheel skirts rot
boot floors rot
bottom of the front windscreens rot
tailgate rots round the window seals
Doors rot at the tops of the skin
Front wing to bumper brakets fall to pieces

Valve stem oil seals go on a too frequent basis
Cam followers become noisy
Fuel pump relays burn out at an alarming rate
Electrics can be dodgy if the fuse box base is rotten
instrument stalks can fail
Actuators become weak leading to lack of boost
Radiators rot
Headlights rot from the inside
Starter's burn out at an alarming rate
Rear trailing arm bushes wear quickly
Front TCA's wear quickly


Why do I own one????????????

Quite good fun actually and has kept me out of trouble for the past 2 months.

FROSTY FOR S2 REGI

[Deepest Blue]

My old black one is for sale in this month's Classic Ford classified ads.
I bought it when it was 2 years old & flogged it to the dood who's advertising it 17 years ago!

Thought it was a pile of shite at the time & changed to a Corolla AE86!
