Hi, This is my Toyota Carina 1974, bough a couple of weeks ago, so far is one of the best cars i have, i drive this one everyday, even tho i have other two, a Volskwagen 1972. and a newer one but the important thing is to show old cars like this one, i hope i can show u all how it goes, if you want more pics, just let me know, i can take more. Of any place in the car u want.

Last Update of the Car: So far almost one year fixing this car, just the engine have been fixed, not yet the exterior, or he interior of the car, changes so far:
Steering fixed (had an small problem where it was pulling to the right side)
Brake System Fixed - All the break system is now operational completely.
Engine: All the engine parts are working fine now except for the Carburator that have been difficult to find, last place that i found one is Spain. (may take a while to fix that)
Electrical System - Everything is working fine now, there were some problems with a lose of power, but it was found to be some cables that were too old.
Existing Problems:
Rust - There is some rust in the doors and the back. Front side is rust free, as well as chassis.
Paint: There are some doubts about the original color of the car, since right now is white, but the interior shows an orange base and or a white and brown interior. Still not clear what will be the color of the car, (any idea please to the guess book)
I have pictures of the engine. i'll post them another day. Thanks for visit this page.

RUST:
The car have been sent to be treated against rust, several parts of the outside couldn't be fixed, they were done with fiber instead of attaching more metal. Found that the original color of the car was Orange, but due that i liked the white color, its been painted as white.
INSIDE:
All the seats and side pannels are being changed to Gray, instead of using the old vinyl, its being made with material.
EASY LEGAL ISSUES!:
Ok, something happened during the painting, we found that the chassis number on the front was rusted and some numbers cannot be seen, the problem was fixed by calling to transportation department (thats the name of the people) and they had a team that can re-mark the cars like this, since there was no signs of alterations and it was natural reasons the process was really easy to fix. and now its re-marked legaly.
