Remembering Japanese cars from the past
Suzuki SC100 owner Ron shared this rusty Suzuki Fronte LC10W racer with me in the comments of the Wangan Warriors 10 posting:
The Fronte LC10W features already a lot of racing looks, but this little powerhouse certainly has been modified to race spec in the b(l)ooming 70s or 80s!
From the side it becomes apparent that there is no way to return this LC10W to that era anymore: Continue reading
It is a terrible shame to leave such a nice Toyota Carina GT-R AA63 rusting away after a fence:
You can already see its factory boot spoiler is loosening it grip on the bootlid, so it is only a matter of time before it stats to grow some brownish rust around that spot.

I have three words for this video: only in Japan…
So far I counted the following:
2 x Toyota Sprinter Trueno AE86s
1 x Toyota Celica RA28
1 x Nissan Cefiro A31
2 x Nissan Skyline K(P)GC10
1 x Toyota Sprinter Trueno Black Limited

Sad but true: I’m already at part thirty-one of this series! 🙁
This time I have a video from the land down under where the Datsun are so unloved that they are rusting away somewhere in a junkyard. The video has the suitable title Where Datsuns go to die.
I counted two 240K coupes, two 240K sedans and a bunch of other interesting Datsuns like a Cedric 220 and 330! What a terrible shame!

Imagine how sad it is to see this Skyline 1500 GL rusting away on an unpaved piece of land.
The driver-side door is open, so at least it can’t be damp on the inside…
