Yes, that is no typo:
Merry Christmas and a rustfree New Year!
My automotive year ended quite badly. What turned out to be a very tiny hole in the rear inner fender on both sides proved to be a true nightmare: the tinworm struck again, ate its way through and instead of a white Christmas I’m actually seeing quite reddish now…
Lucky enough this is the only rust on the whole floorpan of the Carina as it has been creeping from inside out and not the other way around. So to prevent my Carina from becoming a rustoseum I’m having this fixed shortly after New Year and let’s hope it is a rustfree year for everyone! 🙂
yea,hopefully i will have my favorit welded too soon,its in ok condition,but at one place its quite bad,someone screwed the rear fender change long time ago lol…
Better weld it before it gets into the same state as my Carina then. 😉
on that place its already in worster condition…
Merry Christmas to you too! And i know how you feel, allthough i have to scrap a car due to rust 😛
Thanks!
I kind of had that feeling before I sold my Trueno. The car needed some serious welding, so either sell, scrap or repair. In hind sight I should never have sold it anyway. 😉
I bought a cappuccino needing ‘little’ welding, but it’s rotten to the core, so now i’m scrapping it, will miss it, because it was soo fun to drive (150km home), but now i’m lucky i got home without it falling into pieces…
A cappuccino isn’t that old, right? And already rotten to the core?
1994, but it’s that rotten Ivan says his AE86 was a rustfree example. They are made of wafer thin steel and no rust protection, so they rot like nothing else!

Looks more like red swiss cheese to me! 😀 😀
So are you in for the hunt for another Cappuccino?
[…] became a unwritten tradition to post a picture of a certain Toyota Carina with my X-mas wishes and last year was a bit sad. So I decided not to get as corny as my neighbor who sends me a Christmas card […]
