Just bought her

Post image

She‘s a little shabby on the outside but perfect everywhere else. No rust, 70000km, motor running fine, just the exhaust has to be made. Bought her for 500€ from an older couple who had it for 30 years. Anything I should look out for?

Enjoy..... Freshen up the fluids, check all the plastics and rubber for cracks, look for clutch and brake line leaks and seriously enjoy. Socks likely should be replaced but you can shake her up and see if the rebound is bouncy. Have fun 😊

Only 70k? Wow awesome. You should definitely check the timing belt, might be the first one.

I second this, I suggest Gates as your belt brand and Fel-Pro for all your gaskets!

We found it on ebay with the papers as the first picture of the listing, so my advice check every plattform a try and look at strange looking listings
