Any 20+ year old vehicle is likely clapped the fuck out. It will not be reliable unless it is fully restored. Even then, the parts available now are total shit. After 15 years, most manufacturers stop making replacement parts and the only parts available are aftermarket. Every aftermarket parts company has been taken over by kikes and sells chink made shit.

Most parts have a 1 in 5 failure rate out of the box. Even if it doesn't fail right away, it lives for 40,000 miles at most, where the original part went 120k+.

If it takes you 1.5 hours on average to disassemble and reassemble components to replace a part-- you now must do that for every 40k instead of 120k. Multiply this times every shit autoparts store part you have put on the vehicle. Also consider your average normie is not a professional mechanic. They are a parts swapper. When 1 out 5 parts is fucked from the get go-- how are they supposed to know how to triage each part on a pre ODBII vehicle? How much time are they gonna spend learning all this before they can actually go somewhere and not worry about breaking down and being shot by niggers? If you are going this route, stock shit like pic related and be prepared to turn wrenches the rest of your life.
