I was going to suggest a Corolla too, but got beat.
I have an '86 AE82 Corolla with a 4A series engine.
Have had it for around 6 years now, wanted an old car that I didn't care about
I have lost count how many times I have cooked it. Seriously cooked it. Temp gauge doesn't work so I rely on my nose.
Have replaced the water pump once and replaced one welsh plug(both are reasons for it getting cooked so often), other than that I have done absolutely nothing to it, not even changed the oil or replaced the filter!
And it's still kicking! You just can't kill these things.
I'm waiting for the timing belt to let go, I think it was last replaced in the early 90's.
