Remembering Japanese cars from the past
Now this is a sad case as this Carina is not rusting…
yet…
You can clearly see some foliage growing out of the car where ever the plants can make their way to a more sunny spot, so why not just take the hole in the transmission tunnel as the quickest way out? Continue reading
I was hesitating whether to post this Honda Civic coupe EJ as a rustoseum or as Down on the Street, but as it is more a funguseum than a rustoseum it became the latter…
I did spotted this Civic coupe driving around my hometown frequently several years ago but apparently its owner lost interest in it.
I first did see it parked around this spot about two years ago, moving to its current location about a year ago: Continue reading
This (nowadays) very rare second generation Datsun Violet is not for the faint hearted as its original color has been replaced by bubbly brown patina:

On the other side it doesn’t look this good yet: Continue reading

The video shows a small junkyard where not only three convertibles can be found, but also two more rare Honda City Turbo IIs. Also known as the Bulldog…
You can watch the whole video here: Continue reading
One of the most sought after engines is the 3T-GTE twin spark turbo engine that featured in the Carina and Celica GT-T(R) so it is a terrible shame to leave a kouki Carina GT-TR rusting away like this:
