Any ideas for this, folks? I picked it up for £125 but it needs a bit of work to the sills, arches and o/s/f driveshaft. Other than that I think it's farking brilliant, it goes well off-road and sounds ten billion times tougher than a little car should - think half a bellowing straight-six. This turbo'd Mk1 is getting the juices flowing. Oh and here's mine... It's a bit sheddy.

55 MPH?! Can't be right, can it? Nope. And it'll be farked mechanically, since the current owner has obviously found only three of the car's five gears...

Baffling that, motorway should be no bother for a 1.2 Justy! Can't find top speed info but it has 67hp so unless they went for really "wacky" gear ratios I don't believe it. Bet it does 90 at least.

My EFi'd one has 73bhp and cruises quite happily at motorway speeds, I questioned the owner and she said AWD only engages when stationary and it simply won't go over 55MPH. Sounds like a heap.

I've been looking at these for a while now! They look like lots of fun! Another car to go on the "once I've finished my engineering degree and am over 25 list"

it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts

That's what I'd like to do, but it involves removing the subframes and I guess putting blocks under them, extending the propshaft, etc.. Big job for me! In the meantime, any alloy wheel suggestions? It's the same PCD as Nissan Sunnys, Almeras and Micras.
