Replaced diffs, numerous clutches, valve grinds , etc etc.. so I have no interest anymore in " easy to repair" Iv simply done my time with old shit that breaks down. You are welcome to your 80s and 90s stuff, easy and cheap fixes and 1,000,000km safaris, Ill stick to the modern reliable comfy ones that I dont have to fix , thats why i said each to own.

Shit thats flash....mine was a A30...tho a coupe....for the chicks
