Japanese rustoseums (part seventeen)


I’ll try to post as much Carina related stuff this week as possible, so be prepared for some overload of Carina goodness! Let’s kick off with some Carina rustoseums!

For starters I found this little 3A powered SG coupe rusting away on someones blog:
Carina SG AA60 coupe rustoseum

A small detail: the Carina sits on a set of Celica A40 rims.

This Carina TA67 wagon looks like an old delivery van. With the writing on its side it looks like what the Fujiwara Tofu Carina TA67 must have looked like:
Carina SG TA67 wagon rustoseum
Carina SG TA67 wagon rustoseum

Of course the 2T engine did not have enough power by itself, so naturally he would have swapped it for a 2T-G or 3T-GT. :D

Speaking about rusty vans. how about another TA67?

It was found near Rausu. This one really looks bad and way beyond repair.

DOTS: Miata hunting! (part 13)


Would part thirteen bring bad luck? Let’s hope not!

This time I have this beautiful (imported) dark blue 2000 Mazda MX5 NB for you:

Not only was it lowered nicely, it also had a nice lip and some dished rims. Now that’s a Miata I’d like to drive! ;)

A few weeks later I photographed her sister, a green 2005 Mazda MX5 NB that was imported three days earlier (in January 2010) than the blue NB above.

I presume it was the same company, otherwise it was one hell of a coincidence.

And last but not least, this nice red 1990 Mazda MX5 NA:

It is owned by an employee in the building I work in. It could very well be the same owner as the one that left an note under the windshield of my AE86 four years ago. But I’ll probably never know…

Additional note: I got a new phone, so I had to clean out the SD card in it. I discovered I totally forgot about all the pictures I shot with that phone, so it turned out to be some sort of hidden treasure. Prepare for some more bad quality phone-cam pictures in the upcoming weeks! ;)
