Maintenance

Looking at getting into a 308 but I am having some reservations about maintenance and repairs. I am fairly mechanical (ground up restoration on a 69 camaro) and I am not afraid of getting my hands dirty.

1. How readily available are parts? (I am in the Los Angeles Area)

2. What kind of problems can I expect in a 78-79 308?

3. Any things to look for when purchasing a 308?

Thanks in advance.
