Bad points
Rust on the front wings, doors, rear arches and valance.
Play in the steering resulting in the car wandering slightly/getting blown about in the wind
Rear seat is scabby - It's usually covered with an old giffer tartan blanket
Starter motor sometimes misses but it has never failed to start
It's had a poor respray in the past featuring flat paint and runs
Old tyres - starting to crack so need replaced
Good Points
None...

The car drives and stops reasonably well, the brake calipers were recently stripped and greased and had new pads fitted and it's had recent ball joints. The rust is cosmetic more than anything, it's had a fair bit of welding to the inner sills and some inside the engine bay, it's solid for a near on 40 year old Japanese car but it won't be winning any shows anytime soon.
It has a 1200cc engine and a 4 speed gearbox.
It's had a new clutch, the biting point is quite sudden - it's either on or off, it takes a bit of getting used to.
Mileage is around 90k I think
Mot is up in September, V5 here and there's no service history from what I remember.

I'm after £999 for it and located in Fife, Scotland.
PX welcome.
