Can anyone comment on how the bushings and rubber bits hold up? Are worn rubber vacuum issues something to give much weight?
The market in my local areas already is drying up. It's hard to find decent samples in the Austin/Dallas/Houston areas. Especially if you want stock "rims". (Lol)

The rubber on my 1990 was terrible all around. But had over 150k on it, and probably hasn't been garage kept in a long, long time. The steering is easy and cheap to work on. The ball joints are a difficult repair. I haven't tackled the rear subframe bushings yet, but it looks like it's going to need a $300 tool and a few hundred $ in parts.

I like my car. My wife hates it.
