I had a '77 Vega that my sister was about to have repossessed, that turned out
to be one of the best cars ever. Seems that GM tried, in vain, to save face
and
installed sleeves in the cylinders, among other things, on the 4 cylinder.
I yanked the cat conv. and did very little else and then had to sell it to get
into our first house. The people I sold it to were the only ones who even
looked at it and came back to me years later and told me they had put over
300,000 miles on it with the normal maintenance and a valve job.
I'd still love to get my hands on a Cosworth (after my 2K is completed, of
course)
