my first car was a mk1 1.1gl best car i ever had . had 42k on when i got it had 128k ish I think when i sold it . all was left as standard ( point ect. if you check them and carry spares you will go for ever. easy to replace at roadside if you relay get stuck ) odds are you'll feel it start to miss well before it fails on you replace as set with condenser. rear trailing arm bushes seemed to be a sore point as they are crap . if you cam upgrade to polly nowadays i'd do it . rust to sills ,boot ,wings . bar that have another tomorrow..
