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:

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:

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. 😀

Speaking about rusty vans. how about another TA67?

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

I was a bit shocked when I spotted this zenki four door Nissan Skyline RS-Turbo DR30 rustoseum:

How can you leave such a great car rust away in a barn yard?
Judging from the camber on the rear wheels the rear springs were removed when somebody already scavenged it for parts.

Just as bad as the skyline, a Nissan Cherry X-1R:

The Cherry even still got its extemely expensive tail lights in place. It is a wonder nobody scavenged them yet! 😮

What about some foreign rustoseums? A crusty second generation Chevrolet Camaro and an immaculate Renault 4:

Personally I would rather have seen the reverse of that…

Next time I’ll post up some rustoseums from The Netherlands I found earlier this week.

Japanese rustoseums (part fourteen)


How can anyone leave a beautiful Mazda Luce Rotary gather dust and rust?

Judging from the amount of stuff around the Luce Rotary it must have been there for ages! There is even a pair of hedge shears on top of it! Apparently the owner of this RX4 didn’t have the time to repair or rebuild it, so it is currently gathering great amounts of dust and other junk!

This rusty Sprinter Trueno TE27 is also gathering a lot, but not dust! It is gathering plants:

How can you let such a rare car rust away? The foliage is even growing through the trunk outside! Apparently someone thought it would be fruitful to park his old Trueno in his front yard and hope its 2T-G will grow by itself!

Last but not least, behold the rust on this Daihatsu Mira L70:

There is nothing fancy about this car, but I thought the massive amount of rust looked kind of beautiful!

Found at Toyota80’s and White peach’s photozou.

Japanese rustoseums (part thirteen)


Time for a few more rustoseums!

Some time ago I proved that it could get worse than just a few sports cars rusting away: a bunch of Skyline C10s is about the worst thing I could find. The second worst rustoseum is absolutely the Mazda Cosmo and this Nissan Skyline 2000 GTE KGC111 is a good third I guess:
Japanese rustoseum: Nissan Skyline 2000 GTE KGC111
Japanese rustoseum: Nissan Skyline 2000 GTE KGC111

The 2000 GT-E KGC111 was the Hardtop version of the C110 range with a fuel injected L20. It superseded the carbed 2000 GT KGC110 and to distinguish the difference between the two the type designation was inceased with one. This Skyline GT-E is definitely beyond repair…

And fourth place would definitely be this Isuzu 117 Coupe:
Japanese rustoseum: Isuzu 117 Coupe
Japanese rustoseum: Isuzu 117 Coupe

The Isuzu 117 Coupe is one of the most beautiful Japanese cars. Since it has been designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro it shares a lot of design cues with the first Audi 100 (coupe) and IMO that is one of the few beautiful Audis! However this example certainly isn’t the most beautiful 117 anymore… But at least, with some love and care, it looks repairable. 😉

Japanese rustoseums (part twelve)

Since posting up a lot of rusty pictures is getting a bit boring, how about some videos of rustoseums? I found a couple of them on Youtube, just like this video of a Mitsubishi Minica A107V Econo:

A complete mess inside and just left somewhere to rot away miserably…

If you like mess and rust this rusty Suzuki Carry van ST20 will certainly cheer you up more:

I haven’t seen so much crap inside a car since at the company I work for one of the office managers quit her job… Her car was definitely just a big a mess as this Carry van, but then of course without the rust! 😉
