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:
Two more Carina rustoseums on the next page!

Last week I spotted an Abunai Deka episode featuring not only one Toyota Carina van, but actually three of those Carina vans! Enjoy the vans:

As you can see detective Takayama chases a silver Carina van, overtakes a white Carina van at 1:19 and finally stops the wrong silver Carina van in the end. Well, the leaf sprung Carina van was no match for the Suzuki motorcycle anyway... As far as I could tell at least two of the three vans were DX models, so either a TA67, KA67 or CA67.

Back in 1986 when the Abunai Deka series were shot (broadcasting was from 5th of October 1986 till 27th of September 1987) the Carina van was still sold, only to be discontinued in April 1988.

I was doubting if I should post this video in the Car Chase regular or the Carina Sightings. It (obviously) became the latter...

In one of my rustoseum searches I came across a very sorry looking Carina TA67 van left behind in the middle of nowhere:

Toyota Carina TA67 rustoseum
All windows are gone, roof looks like it could serve as a pool and the inside looks like a farmer used it as a shed. :D

You can see big dents on the side and the side mouldings are missing everywhere except on the rear door.

There are two things I would actually have wanted from this Carina: the round headlights (I can at least start a collection then!) and the wind deflectors.
