	After the car seemed so well equipped in the beginning (4+Economy-Gearbox! Fog taillight! Right rearview mirror!) I took increased notice of some lack of equipment compared to the bigger GL&GX versions - this was soon eliminated by searching the local junkyards where AT THAT TIME there was still a lot to be found. On this car I learnt to fix some things and to repair rust damage. Of course, I made some mistakes that later were subjects of annoyance, but in the end - it was a wonderful time...
