Re: 1985 Tercel $3200 Utah

Looks nice. I assume it is a 1985 DLX auto with 1983-1984 SR5 interior with some missing parts like grill emblem.

Re: 1987 Tercel 4wd project

It it time for August update. I had my vacation to fix my original project further. From now on I will refer my original project car as BHP, because of its registration plate. The BHP received missing decals and moldings after printing the stickers in a sticker shop. I did found an original measures...

Re: ThunderBucket, my 84 SR5 project.

I like also this story and your Youtube vid on winter rescue. The good story makes the half of reasoning why to keep this Tercel roadworthy. Hopefully we will hear what you will do with this Tercel in the future. There is some rust present but I think that you can still keep it roadworthy with some ...

Re: 3A Motors for sale

I recommend that you do the swap first and sell motors then. You may need everything from bolts to exhaust manifolds for swap depending if your 4A is from FWD layoyt or not. FWD 4A has not neither correct exhaust manifold. But I hope that you finish that 4A swap soon! Stroke is also same in 4A &...

Re: My first Tercel wagon 85 4wd

White wheels look good! And it is a good idea not to drive much with wobbling wheels. They can ruin everything from steering parts and bearings to joints and bushings. I had same to happen once with 13'' rusty steel wheel. After sand blasting it was still so wobbly that I needed to find another one....

Hopefully you will make some video material also from this meeting. It was really nice to see last years video of some many Tercel 4wds in same location.

Re: Nice '86 4WD with 88,000km for sale in BC

I saw this on the fb group. The car is beautiful. The part that I have mixed feelings about is that the person selling it now bought it for $5k a month ago -- on one hand I think there's nothing wrong with flipping. If you have the money and come across a good deal, it's just smart to take advantag...

Re: My first Tercel wagon 85 4wd

Sandblasting + new tires is great idea. I sandblasted & painted my steel wheels and they were like new againg.

Re: Learn Tercel maintenance with other same period cars

Exactly! I agree that I would prefer a bit more bright old 1970's & 1980's style colors or 1950's and 1960's light color schemes. Thank you. That is why we are in this forum, to share details we know and to ask for details that we don't know. We all have still a lot to learn because cars evolve ...

Re: 1995 Tercel stalls at idle - 338,000 miles

Fuel injection is similar but different. You won't get far with bad coil either with carburetor or with fuel injector car. I think you need first to make sure that you will have a fully functioning ignition system. Then you can measure compression, check fuel system etc. This issue can be anything b...

Re: 1987 Tercel 4wd project

Thank you very much Mattel for looking the file. I can let you know how it works for me. I will print this sticker in the end of summer. Great work. Did you need the sticker for the rear hatch that says Toyota? I made an illustrator file that you could take to a signwriter to print. its on here some...

Re: ISO FENDERS

It looks like no matches are found. Some skilled rust repair guys could fix them in your area if your old ones are not completely gone.
