the 1.6 NA or TD are not the same engine. don't slap a turbo on it and expect it to last. oil squirters are among the list of differences.
I had an 81. best I could get was 45 mpg, driving 55 on the freeway. there's an OD that works great on this car. Audiovox makes it.
if I had no choice but to drive one again, I would:
drop in a later TD,
full boat tail while removing as much sheet metal to keep weight the same,
swap running gear to at least 14" wheels.
sure there are others but I won't drive one ever again.
bought it for 1200.00 and sold it 3 years later for 1500.00 if I remember right.
