Carina Sightings: Sorry looking TA60 Carina Part #2

Remember this Carina?

I blogged about it more than half a year ago: Sorry looking TA60 Carina

Well, I found some more pictures of that Carina:

Would that guy on the background also be the owner?

In my previous post I thought most of it was gone, but apparently not much more than the centrecap of the steeringwheel and some minor details are missing.

I see a lot of rust! Even the airbox is rusted!

At least we get some more info on the car. What I understand (my Norwegian isn’t that good!) is that the car has a 2T with a 5 speed. It drove more than 330000km and the chairs are pretty much gone, hence the seatcovers…

The front bumper is a modified 1994 Carina E bumper. Of course the Carina E bumper is a few centimeters too wide and to fit it properly they widened the front fenders a bit! 😮

You can find more about this Carina here and here.

Carina Sightings: unknown wrecked Carina TA60 sedan

Since the majority of the Carina sedans were all 2T engined I presume this is also a TA60 sedan. Since it’s got no headrests in the rear bench it is the same grade as mine: DX. Unfortunately there is no licenseplate so we can’t even guess where the car is from… A lot of guesswork here…

Anyway, the car has been wrecked: it got a good bump on the front and left fender and the right rear got a small dent as well. The interior looks like the car has been driven by the Swamp Thing himself. It probably wasn’t saved after these three pictures…

Would it have been in an accident or did a wannabe drifter loose control of the car when loosing traction (open diff!) on a muddy road?
