They probably did under value the car, but I don't have any experience fighting with insurance companies.

Here's a panorama of the passenger's side



The main damage is the rear quarter panel.

Just saw this on Craigslist. Both are pretty clean. $5500 for the 1987 automatic and $4900 for the 1986 manual.

Just got my settlement today. They valued the car at $2300 and, since the repairs would have been close to $3500, they declared it a total loss. I bought the car back from them for the $225 they would have got at the scrapyard, leaving me with just over $2000. I'll post better pictures once I get it...

I'd love to see details on his build. Looks like a quality job!

Quick update. After an accident in the school parking lot this week, it looks like the insurance company is going to declare my Tercel a total loss. It's only cosmetic damage, but the body shop wanted $3500 to repair it. Still waiting on valuations, etc., but we'll make sure it doesn't end up in the...

Haven't posted in a while. Not much update on the Tercel, but I did pick up a new project, a 1992 F150 that's been a veteran of a few Gambler 500 events here in the NW..

What’s it gonna take to fit these? :mrgreen: I'm running 185/65R14 which gives me a diameter of 23.5". They fit fine even before I did a lift. Those 165/80R13 have basically the same diameter, 23.4", but are narrower so you won't have to worry much about the tire rubbing inside the wheel ...

Success!! I finally got it back together. Hit it with a wire brush and then found an old tap that had the same teeth pitch (but obviously not the same diameter) and scratched back and forth until I cleaned up the threads as best I could. From there it was just pressure and elbow grease until I got t...

Thanks for the suggestion, Petros, I'll give that a shot.

If that doesn't work I'll check some local yards and then PM you ALiveSR5 if I can't find anything.

Will update within a week. Thanks for the support!

New problem I'd love some advice on. I noticed a knocking sound from one of the front struts. After removal it seems that the nut that keeps the shock cartridge in the housing was off. This part here: https://i.imgur.com/qlfBsDf.png The nut would not go back on and after closer inspection some of th...

Thanks for posting this, Toyotise. It's a good comprehensive list. I've done most of that with similar parts and am glad you've put it all in one spot. I'll be bookmarking this.

Ad is very short on details, probably does not run. Looks like it has the inclinometer.

Only has one photo. If I was closer and had a trailer I'd grab it.

Not only did my kids decorate my hood, they also came up with this ingenious A/C hack, which turned out to be a good idea since the dates for the 2021 Oregon Gambler 500 overlapped one of the most intense heat waves in the state's history. https://i.imgur.com/yh8JeOL.png I took lots of parts and too...

The Oregon Gambler 500 starts Friday and I'm off soon. My kids decorated the hood (it's chalk on the chalkboard paint ) and it doesn't look half bad.



Hope to have some good pictures to share after the event.

They are vinyl. I bought a few 12"x12" samples of Oracal 651 in different colors and cut them by hand. Cost maybe $15 total, but that's because I picked up one of every yellow, orange and red they have so I could play around with color combinations. You can buy samples from most sign shops...
