Today I have mostly been thinking about mid-80s bland Japanese saloons... Daihatsu Charmant:   Toyota Camry:  Datsun Bluebird:  Pic courtesy of our very own Mr. Ratdat... There are more, I'm sure. Given the right lowering, and a nice set of wheels, they've got a lot of potential:     |

I wanted to make a Toyota Camry hillcimb car, until I found out that they aren't RWD,... but its still an interesting possibility  |

Then there's these Subarus (if you can find one):  4WD, I'm sure there was a turbo coupe one too... |

The more I see modified Japanese Retro Cars the more I think that there should be a Retro-Rides Japanese tour just to see some of these cars in the metal.

Anyone fancy paying for my plane tickets? this one's my pick of the bunch, although i think it needs the rear view mirrors on the wings |

Mazda 818, anyone?  And what about the Mazda Montrose coupe. Anyone seen one lately?? |
| |
... the only injury I sustained was a bumped head when I let the seatbelt of without realizing the car was upside down  and that's not really the car's fault. |

Has anyone got a pic of a 1982 Carina?? I can't find one anywhere  so can't fully explain to anyone just how "Naff 80's J Car" my old Brown one was! |
