i gotta '82-83 hatch, and i need to find new doors, new hatch, new alternator maybe and new rubbers for the windows and tail lamp gaskets

thanks again brad

oh ok lol, its not blowing any smoke what so ever, just sooty water would leak and spray out the back when it accelerated.
i got the idea it was a blown head gasket because the oil's gone a lil milky, and whats a leakdown test i dont think ive ever done one before lol

thanks again brad

can anyone recommend a place where i can pick some some decent spare parts from around Sydney or Newcaslte NSW area?

thanks again, brad

hello every one im back, thank you for helping me a few month ago when i almost had a hatch. recently i bought one to restore lol, and the car has significant rust. should i be worried about rust in hatches? and if so the rust seems pretty serious in some areas. would it be worth fixing?
