This is my 1982 Carina, which was an 1800 Diesel, but which i've changed over to a 1600 2TB petrol engine, It Will be getting a 4AGE sometime, whenever can afford to (anyone want to donate an engine? worth a try...)
i got the car originally just for the gearbox, someone told me that the box from a diesel carina was the thing to have in an AE86 rallycar but on closer inspection i decided that the carina was worth keeping on the road as except for a little rust in the doors, it was absolutely perfect, she was rust proofed from new!!
so i set about and stripped her to a bare shell and did a quick resto last summer, i will probably spray her again next year as i didnt do a great job
i sprayed it ok, but it started rainng when the lacquer was drying and messed it up
Oh well, it's good enough for the girls i go with...
Enough talk, heres the pics...
