Remembering Japanese cars from the past

DOTS: Even more scruffy looking Nissan 200SX S14

When I started with the Down on the Streets series I posted the Scruffy looking Nissan 200SX S14 in the second feature. Back then I wrote that there was a lot of moss growing under it and the paint was falling off the bumper… Those first pictures were taken in june, so I stopped by the car early september and things got worse:

There were already a lot of leafs and dirt on the car: not very shocking.

What was shocking was this:

The paint starts to get blisters all over the car and falls off on other parts as well!

Let’s zoom in on that passenger door:

Currently only surface rust so it can still be repaired.

And the boot wasn’t much better than the passenger door…

So of course I paid a visit early October to see how bad things got now:

Even more leafs and dirt on the car!

What about the passenger door then?

Rust didn’t get any worse than before, however more blisters can be seen on the door…

And the boot?

Same story as the door: rust didn’t get worse but the amount of blisters did…

To prevent this car from getting worse I left a note on the car but haven’t received any answer yet. Will try again soon! ;)

    So sad :(
    Can you look if you can find the licence of this S14 in our dutch 200SX database?

    Sure. Just did it: unfortunately the car is not in the database. :(
    I removed the link to the database since I wasn’t sure if all that data should be public. ;)
