Re: Cars you don't see many of anymore

I got my ex to buy an 1982 323 after she wrote off her mk2 escort ghia. Kept it for decades but got rid of it after 330k kms when the rings, valve stem seals, the g/b and clutch got tired and worn, plus the hatch/doors started to get a little rusty.
It was a pain to get parts for in 2002, must be impossible now. Really good cars though, it was a daily driver we'd sometimes take on road trips (localish SW WA) before I got my EL.
I'm pretty familiar with them and the E5 but I have no idea what that grey thing next air filter is. The mazda version had nothing like that, just a few vacuum solenoids- (mercifully little compared to slightly other and later models, particular mazda/ford)
Yesterday I saw an XB coupe. For some reason every day on or near hepburn ave there's some rare car. Must be the fact it's an old enough area for large house blocks with rear colourbond double garages/workshops, and lots of car guys around the warwick to padbury suburbs.
