Remembering Japanese cars from the past

For sale: My JDMish Toyota Carina 1.6 DX TA60

I made a tough decision last Monday: my Carina is for sale!
My Carina DX TA60 is for sale!
The reason why? Well I got an offer for a (project) car that I can’t refuse. ;)
My goal is to sell the whole as one lot, but if some buyer decides not to buy all the parts/JDM stuff I’ll put that here for sale seperately. So what does the whole package include?

Toyota Carina 1.6 DX TA60 Automatic
Built: 1982 (July)
Color: white (cream)
Mileage: 91874 km
Interior: black/cream white

The Carina has always had its checkups at a Toyota dealer and looks great for its age, but naturally there are some small points of attention: white stains on the windshield (outside viewing range so no MOT problem), rust on C-pilar near the left rear door, small parking dent on the right rear door but there is no scratch in the paint (some unknown person bumped into mine on a parkinglot and left without leaving a note).

The car has APK (Dutch MOT) till 7th of July 2013, exhaust has been replaced three years ago, waterpump last year and the car had its 90000 km checkup at the Toyota dealer October last year.
During the 90000 km checkup rust was revealed in the rear inner fenders and early 2013 this has been professionally fixed (by 2mmm sheetmetal) and the floorpan is now solid and rust free.
APK will naturally be prolonged by 2 years.

    Gotto say that´s cheap considering the work done and condition! What project car are you buying, maybe a post about it soon? :)

    • banpei

      Thanks and I know… However not many people are willing to pay the full price, especially if they are not keen on the JDM stuff. ;)
      Once I have anything more conclusive I’ll post something on the upcoming project.

  2. gred

    :(…well,whats your next project then?

    • banpei

      Nothing concrete or official yet… But think of something starting with an A and ending with 86. :P

      • gred

        ae86?… :/ thats too mainstream,i would rather keep this :P

        • banpei

          Hehe… I know. It has been on my mind to turn this Carina into a four door AE86 (e.g. swap and retain the live axle) but for some reason there always comes something in between preventing this…

    I thought they would make the wheels stand out a bit. I managed to find a set of used ones in perfect condition for $20 shipped on ebay. When I went to put them on I realized the car had a set of McGuard wheel lock bolts on it, after tearing through the car I realized that the key was there, however I have had nothing but bad luck with wheel locks and the keys, so I ordered 4 new wheel bolts, and removed the wheel locks while taking off the wheels to change the center caps.

    Hi Banpei. I wish I Could buy it…but import it to my country (Panama) would costs as much as twice te sale price.
    Would.you sale parts like the AA60 cluster, foha spoiler set, door panels, Celica wheels?. Name a price an let me know.
    If don’t remember me, you posted my Bafo’s lowered carina youtube video last year.

    • banpei

      Hi Bafo! Thanks for the heads up!
      I actually decided not to sell the Carina in the end. All I got were very low bids and the youngtimer car market in the Netherlands collapsed to due new legislation. Basically for an non-collector the car is worth next to nothing now.
