Re: Robert Moogs's Wagon !

Reading this thread brought back a lost memory. Just before I left North Carolina in the early 90s, I lived with an aunt who worked with Bob Moog's daughter Michelle Moog-Koussa, now the director of the Bob Moog foundation. My aunt bought a 1981 Tercel base sedan from Michelle's husband when they ...

Re: CV/Half Axle/Axle Assy?

Don't buy remanufactured axles for a Tercel, period. axles The outer joint type on the Tercel can't be rebuilt, so the remanufactured shaft can only be as good as the used outer joint on the core. I haven't seen a shaft with a welded-on replacement outer, but if I happened across one I wouldn't ...

Re: Misc. Parts For Sale...

Those are the alloy wheels I have, and I have a full set of four. I only have two of the center caps. Sorry about the typo.

I'd have to look again, but I think the headliner is molded differently in the sunroof cars. The roof stamping is different, so you'd have to section and weld the sunroof in ...

Aww man... Do you remember where you got those?
I don't remember where these came from, but it was probably a swap meet. I had these and a black pair, and the black ones ended up going on my car. The chrome ones are still available.

I accept PayPal, but I need to know how you'd like them shipped. Shipping to Canada is more expensive, so would you rather save the money and go first class, or spend a little extra for priority mail?

Oil Clearance at Auto Zone, YMMV...

I stopped by my local Auto Zone yesterday, and they're having an oil clearance. Manufacturers have gone to "5+" quart jugs, so any 4 or 5 quart jugs are being cleared out. They had several brands of conventional oil for $7.99 a gallon, and a few others at $11.99 for 5 quarts. However, among those I ...

Misc. Parts For Sale...

I've been going through my parts collection putting together the things I'll be using on my 2WD wagon in the coming weeks, and it's time to sell off some things I won't be needing. All these parts are for Tercel 4WDs, and all include shipping within the CONUS:

Pair of near-new KYB GR2 rear shocks ...

Re: Canadian Doughnuts

You can either install them on top of the spring, or snake them between the coils as a stabilizer. I lucked out and picked up a new pair last week for $5 at a swap meet, so I now have 2 pair in the rear of my 2WD,

Re: Complete A/C System Overhaul

It took me very little time to remove the fan box and the evaporator box. I imagine it would be fairly easy to just make the condenser box into a duct from the fan box to the heater. I wish I'd known of your plans, a local junkyard crushed a non-a/c Tercel 4WD a few months ago. I'll check tomorrow ...

Complete A/C System Overhaul

I finally started tearing into my A/C system today, with plans on having it finished within the next week or two. I've been threatening to do a retrofit for years now, and the time has finally come. I'm replacing every component in the system with the exception of the hard lines. I have a ...

One good thing about buying a genuine Toyota exhaust (at least in the US) is the lifetime warranty.

FS: Outer Tie Rod Ends

I have a pair of near-new outer tie rod ends for a power steering Tercel wagon for sale. These are high-quality, and have only a few thousand miles on them. There's zero play in them, and the boots have no cracks. They didn't come painted from the factory, so they have some surface rust. The price ...
