Re: A New Coat of Paint!

Peel out plastic membrane (I cut it out and retape it up to use as a pattern for dynamatting later). You need to pry the inner window bottom rubber moulding up to remove then the whole panel will lift off after you popped all the trim clips. That PILLAR that divides the two windows comes out next fo...

REAR DOORS: remove 3x phillips screws in armrest, handle, and opener lever. To remove manual window cranks lever the crank away from the panel with a trim tool then use a cloth and work the clip out from the back.

A New Coat of Paint!

It's time for new paint so this thread will be about our process of getting the little rig ready for the paint shop. Our tercel came from a very dry climate and we continue to be amazed by the lack of rust. Due to the heat of said climate however, a lot of our plastics had been hurt by the sun inclu...

Re: Loss of Acceleration and Car died

Towed the car home this morning (still wouldn't start) and then went to Napa to get a fuel filter and starter spray and ended up talking to an older gentleman who guessed that I had vapor lock.

Loss of Acceleration and Car died

Ever feel like you're finally getting somewhere with having your Tercel be near perfect - and then something happens? Yeah, that's how today is going for me. It's a pretty hot day here in CO - around 100 degrees. My wife and I jumped into the Tercel to head home from my work and as I am driving, all...

Remove window seals?

I'm taking in the little rig next week to get a professional paint job and I am saving money by removing all the trim. I do have a question though, does anyone have advice on the window trim seal (I'm not sure what that's called) because I'm guessing if I pull it off I would need new moulding to rei...

Tape Deck wanted

Would really love to install a tape deck into my SR5 (I just have the radio and storage space beneath). Any one have one that they would like to sell me?

Re: Wanted:Emissions parts

Thanks guys so much I hope this all works out. I think this is the emissions plate stating it is a 3a-c, again we have a 4a engine but trying to meet the 3a-c emissions rigging. Then here are more shots of the passenger side without the air filter.
