Is this a sign of just how old these cars are?

Within the first few threads on this page, just look at how many are because of things not working!!

This isn't just fords that are causing heartache, currently my audi coupe s2 is sitting there with no clutch due to the power killing it.

I'm in two minds either finish it (450+power and bodywork) or sell it either whole or spares and concentrate on having fun with a 2 door escort estate.
