They do go sideways easily, so you need to drive appropriately! just remember to to be too stupid pissed off ant anything! the plus side is that they can be alto of fun to drive as they have a lot more "feel" than most modern cars! you need to find somewhere that you can practice and play SAFELY. this is not only so you don;t hurt your self and others but so you don't right the car off! learning what it is feels like as the rear starts to break traction, using power to make this happen WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU BREAK especially round corners!
The other thing is rust, as said these cars were made before ford thought of galvanising their cars never mind doing it! so you have to be vigilant to stop it early! The best way is a warm dry garage at night so try to do this as much as possible!
Also remember that salt spray (if you live near the coast) or at winter from gritting will screw the bodywork so fast you an watch it rust!
good luck and have fun!
