I had my first Tercel up to 90 in Montana back in the "Drive at a safe speed" speed limit days. It sure took a while to get there though. This was an 1983 5 speed car.

The 3.4l v/6 is a much better engine than the 3.0

Another good site for Toyota https://board.marlincrawler.com/index.php None of the Toyotas of that era get great gas mileage & are somewhat under powered .
I have a 90 4runner with 390,000 on it & still working fine. Which engine does it have?

You must be near my elevation or a little higher. We are at 600ft. At the end of my road above us they have 37 inches but are at 1100ft. My locked 4runner with dual transfer cases has been driving right up the hill so far. I also have the tires at 12lb of air pressure which helps a ton.

It is still snowing here, nearly 2 feet at this point. There are 2 Tercel wagons under there

Very nice work Larry, I enjoy watching the progress!

I use the FPIG from Toyota part # FIPG 00295-01281 for this type of thing. Seems to work better than generic silicone sealants.

I believe the salvage price is what you will buy it back for. At least that's the way our 4runner worked when we kept it.

I used to body surf & surf every day for years. Washington water temps are not as pleasant as Hawaii was. I have only gone twice here in the last 20 years. I am just not built to become an ice cube in meh waves. 20 to 30 days a year or so there are some really nice waves. I have to admit to watching...

I have always planned to make it out to that road. Something closer Seattle area would be better for me & I don't have a licensed Tercel right now so I will be driving the 4runner either way

If the bleeder screw will actually move you can try cleaning the inside of the bleeder with a bit of welding wire or something similar & then blow it out.

Looks real good!

Mine is also an 85.

It looks similar to the one I have of the same color. The clearcoat is peeled in places on mine so waxing it really doesn't hide much.

I still have my 85 & 90 4runners. The 90 has 385,000 on it & still going. I have replaced more than a few parts on it though.
