New Owner in Vancouver WA
Re: New Owner in Vancouver WA
Freshly detailed. Broke some clips on the trim and will need to find new ones for driver's side door.
New:
Front struts - KYB from rock auto
Rear wheel bearings - Beck from rockauto
Wheels (mr2 triangles 14")
LED lights - dome, brake, side, back, parking
Need to modify my flasher before turns go
Tires - Used Toyo 185/70R14 for now
Muffler/Catalytic - Rock Auto
O2 Sensor - (too be installed)
Attached mock up of new side graphics will include a stripe down the c-pilar with "Tercel" under the rear window and the 4WD logo in that back square.

So damn clean! I've been wanting to do the led conversion, makes everything look real good. The graphics are going to be a killer addition as well. Can't wait to see that.

I used all the Philips Ultinon bulbs (combo of rockauto and amazon). I think total spent was 150 or so...but it looks nice, increases safety and I had it so I spent it! 150 isn't so bad when you consider it was 15 bulbs that'll last 5 years minimum

wow, that could be dangerous. better console her, perhaps bring her flowers, or give her a nice hot wax massage or something she would like to take her mind of the "other" car.

Re: New Owner in Vancouver WA
lowbuck,
I am working with a guy that does vinyl vehicle wraps. I specifically looked for one who did RV style striping as I figure that is most similar.
That orange would be out of this world if you pull it off!

Re: New Owner in Vancouver WA
Where did you get that side view tercel image? If I had a similar photo without the striping, I could go to town with photoshop.
Re: New Owner in Vancouver WA
Great Car! love the mods. very rare to see one so clean.
Re: New Owner in Vancouver WA
Thanks Yaksr5! I hope to make this example second only to a few insane Bryan Thompson like mint ones
Lowbuck. That cropped car is just my car in a photo he took and cropped. I'll see if he will share that file with me.
Pictured is what I decided as a final look for the decals. Lower stripes patterned after the white australian tercel that used to belong to a forum member. Upper c-pilar piece is styled after that of the "snow tercel".

What do y'all think?

Hoodwagon,
That will look great!! I hope my next tercel is in good enough shape to deserve a paint job.

The vinyl on the pillars is a nice touch. I love it!
Re: New Owner in Vancouver WA
Basket and rack on now that the snow has stopped. Not sure how I feel about the rear placement..... might prefer centered....thoughts?
