I've since tossed away the stuff I had for free. Moving makes for a stringent deadline with junk. Sorry all...

So, I've put the racks on the roof and have started work on the interior. Everything goes in there pretty easily. I've decided in favor of the option in which the front seats slide forward and a little fold out panel flips down to add 10 inches of leg room. I may still do the rear fold out for ...

this may be a dumb question, but does putting in a K&N filter involve any rehosing/plugging of the vacuum lines? My understanding -- which may be wrong -- is that the k&N filter replaces the entire air cleaner. True? If so, where do the various vacuum attachments wind up?

Yes, the hatchback has a slide n' fold front seat or at least the '90 does. Good idea.

With luck, tonight I'll begin the construction on the tercelenstein.

I'd ship them if you want them. it would be sad to throw this stuff away if there's someone who will use it. They'd probably ship for $20 or less. Let me know.

Update -- I've removed the seats (These are offered up in the parts section for free if anyone wants them) and found that the hinges and their attachment points will make good places to begin to fasten down the sleeping frame. My wagon had the split rear seat, so the center hinge will be nice to ...

I've begun the conversion of my tercel to a little camp mobile. This has seen me pull out the rear seats for which I have no use and am offering them up here. My interior is the '84 plaid with brown on cream color scheme. I can't offer the fasteners since I need these to keep the interior water ...

I hate to hijack a thread, but I'm curious about the same things you are. I recently replaced my front axles thinking that they were the root of the clunking going on in the front when I cornered. The replacement took out some of the noise, but I'm left with some decently loud clunking when I corner ...

You and I think alike. I was thinking along the same lines for the roof rack. I was going to make mine out of 1 inch pipe. It all threads together and with a little lock tite would stay together for a while. If anyone messes with it, no biggie. They make mounts that allow pipe to pass through walls ...

I happen to be thinking about these things now too at this very moment. During long, boring drives, I've been cooking up the idea of removing the rear seat (the easy part on an '84), putting in a 2x4 framed platform to sleep on and hatches to get to the rear seat wells to store stuff in. I've also ...

Okay, finally got a remanned head on and am happily driving my tercel again. Gas milage is improved (up from 29 to 33 mpg) has more power, and uses almost no oil. My guess is that the old head had some seriously worn valve seals among a lot of other things (checked the valve clearance and it was ...

I never thought I'd say this about a tercel wagon, but that's one fine looking car.

Perfect, it just so happens that tonight I painted falcon (hawk-like bird at least) eyes on the left and right front quarter panels on my '84. Thanks for the info.

well, I think I found the problem and it's not surprising that no one knew what was wrong. I was cleaning my old head to prepare to take it in to have the valve replaced, it decked and whatever else it needed and was just kinda looking the whole thing over. Getting intimate with the parts, and ...

Ahhh, I think I see with the timing issue.

Yep, they didn't surface the valve cover mating surface after glass beading. Running a finger over it, it feels a bit knobbly while my old head's surface is smooth as butter. The head/block interface is, of course, smooth. I think even I would have caught ...
