I gather some of the team out there are Australian. I'm in Perth, WA and looking at a '79 T with a view to buy (it's affordable). It's a black combi 3 door Finnish assembled car chassis # 99796002431. Anyway, could you kind folks give me a list of things to look out for in purchasing these babies and in particular what are the show stoppers? What are the common problems with them; can we get affordable parts in Oz and is there anyone in Perth that I could take this to for an opinion/servicing? This one has done 300K kms and is tatty. It runs but seems very sluggish up to turbo revs and then it goes reasonably well but with bad pre-ignition; I wasn't game to kick arse as it seems to badly need a tune up. I'm mainly concerned about mechanical condition -there doesn't seem to be alot of room under there and they get rather warm too!
Thanks everyone.
