The return of the Box type Lancer

[afrasay]

I see so many of this model on the streets in different state, some in super kinis and modified versions, some in its stock form and a few in different phases of body repairs and painting, naka masilya pa yun iba. In a paintshop sa kanto namin may at lest 10 box type lancer na for painting. Wala lang natutuw lang ako dahil during its time mabili ang model na ito. Box type owners post naman kayo ng pix ng mitsu ninyo dito.

We have 2 SL models, 1 pamana ng erpats ko, isa pamana ng lolo ko. Pero yung isa na lang ang ni-restore namin. pinye-pyesahan na lang namin yung isa. Hirap kasi maghanap ng matinong surplus, although meron naman maayos na surplus parts, mejo mahal na nga lang.

Dati walang mapagpipiliian kundi Mitsubishi lang na sasakyan kaya maraming box type. Kaya uso din noon ang owner type na jeep.

May toyota naman nun..corolla dx, liftback pero I seldom see these models nowadays.

Ang problema naman sa toyota Dx at liftback ay iyong body niya na paikot sa gulong kalawangin at madaling mabulok.

Sinabi mo pa. Lalo na ang liftback. Years ago my tito was into buy and sell. Bumili ng sobrang mura na liftback na sobrang dami ang bulok, as in half na ata ng fender ang natira. Yun latero nag aantay pa ng matinong liftback na pumarada sa harap ng betamax rental (anu yun betamax? :P ) store tapos ilalabas niya yun metro para sukatan yun fenders pa ma fabricate dun sa nirerepair...hehehehe

Yeap, there was. But Toyota pulled out after 1985 or so, so the only major player in the game remaining was Mitsubishi. And even then they weren't exactly enjoying a monopoly either, car sales were tepid at best.

About rust in 1980s era Japanese cars (same-era W123/4 Mercs are bulletproof), I once had a Mirage that literally snapped in half due to rust while I was on it, in high speed, while going down a flyover Di yata uso rustproofing noon.
