Pumpkn210 Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 My parents live next door to an old brother and sister that dont take care or thier property. We have been mowing thier yard for a few years. We did a huge back yard Muck-Out years back and I saw this car in the garage. Asked them about it (71? Toyota Carina) and they said I cant have it. Fast forward years. and we are Rerofing, painting, and fixing thier old garage and house. Also we tore down and hauled off a falling in garage! For our efforts, they finally gave it to us. My Mom wants to drive it to work for a whyle and then give it to me. We will see how that works out :unsure: Plan on keeping it BONE STOCK for use as a daily driver! Will keep this thread updated with pics as we go! First the garage its in: Quote Link to comment

lilblackwagon Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Plan on keeping it BONE STOCK for use as a daily driver! Ya right...We'll see how long that lasts! Knowing you it'll be slammed by next weekend, gutted, and a coffee can tip on straight exhaust to polish it off! Got can? Seriously nice score though...Find any other treasures in there? Any rusty "yard art" you wanna hook a brotha up wit? Quote Link to comment

WAGON JON Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Yeah, my parents had a white one when I was a kid. It had a 2-tc engine in it. It ran grate and gas mileage was in the high twenty's. Had a 2inch exhaust witha turbo muffler. Cool find! :) Quote Link to comment

Just do random things to it, like adjust the carb so it won't idle well, so she can't stand driving it :P Quote Link to comment
Pumpkn210 Posted June 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Seriously nice score though...Find any other treasures in there? Any rusty "yard art" you wanna hook a brotha up wit? I maby found a radioflyer wagon and some other cool stuff, maby not. Either way Probibly! You should come over and check it out, and ride the scooter! Just do random things to it, like adjust the carb so it won't idle well, so she can't stand driving it :P Brilliant! Quote Link to comment
littlejason Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Cool! I had one of those. Maybe I can be helpful somehow. Solid axle w/ coil springs... same reason you love 210s... right?? Is that the original paint? Quote Link to comment

Is that the original paint? All Stock Everything! And is it the crappy toyota 4-link with the panhard bar? Quote Link to comment
littlejason Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Yes, like a Celica or AE86. But why do you say crappy? Quote Link to comment

You should come over and check it out, and ride the scooter! DUDE!!! Please tell me that lil red wagon of yours is rusty!!! I want! I want!I want! I've been looking for a crusty one for months. I'm calling you tomorrow when I get home... Can you weight shift your scoot in gravel, burn out and get all sorts of crossed up? Quote Link to comment
Pumpkn210 Posted June 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Yes, like a Celica or AE86. But why do you say crappy? Its really a 5-link with the panhard bar. The datsun has 4 bars set in a triangulated pattern to prevent side to side shift, instead of another bar. And Kelly/lilblackwagon, just come on over to the parents slab sometime soon. We should be workin on there roof and junk for a weekish :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment

zerow Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 That little Carina is clean! I had a '71 Corona after I got out of high school. It had an 8RC. Strong running motor. Sold it to the neighbor. IIRC, the Carina had the 2TC. You can pick up 3TCs from a '79 - '82 Corolla and really make that car scream. Quote Link to comment
littlejason Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Yeah, that was my plan: 3T-C, 5-speed, AE86 struts and LSD, daily drivin'. Quote Link to comment
Pumpkn210 Posted June 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 blah blah fucking blah i want more pics :lol: We are currently re roofing the house, so it will be a little whyle b-4 moar pics. Deal With It! ;) Quote Link to comment
