Re: Fuel Tank Drain Plug

I'm having fuel delivery issues and suspect that I've got a clog in one of the fuel lines (accidentally let myself run well below the E recently before I had a chance to refill and I think that may have caused some sediment in the bottom of tank to get sent into the lines). Going to blow compressed ...

Re: Anyone parting out a Tercel wagon? - in LA.

Udara, I finally made it over to my storage space and grabbed the rearview mirror. Unfortunately I had forgotten until I dug it out that it's in less than ideal condition. It is structurally fine, but as you can see the top layer of plastic is slightly flaked off and there's some wear around the edg...

1987 Tercel4WD 79K in Denver, CO

Just ran across this in my Craigslist wanderings. No affiliation on my part, just happened to see it and wanted to pass it on to the forum. 1987 Tercel 4WD with 79K, one-owner, new brakes and clutch. Seller is asking $3800. https://denver.craigslist.org/cto/d/1987-toyota-tercel-4wd/6550772924.html E...

Re: T4WD ads on Craigslist, 3/17 thru 3/28/2018 (CA, WA, NE, IL, ID, NC, OK, MT, MI, CT)

The CL listing I referenced is a scam with stolen photos from the real owner of that T4WD. Actual owner of that car has it up for sale on Facebook Marketplace for $3500. 137K and appears to be in rather remarkable condition. Wish I had the cash because it's not often that I see any Tercs for sale ar...

Re: Anyone parting out a Tercel wagon? - in LA.

Looks awesome, Udara. If you're unable to find one local to you in California while you're there, I'd be willing to ship you the front grill of my previous T4WD. The grill is still intact and was not damaged in the wreck. I may have a spare rear view mirror as well.

Re: "Toyster½shell" 1985 Tercel 4WD SR5

Man, life has been throwing me some challenging left-field curveballs all summer and things are finally calming down enough that I can direct some intention back toward looking into another vehicle. A delayed thank you to Petros and Mattel for your replies! Toyster sat for a couple of months and las...

Re: "Toyster½shell" 1985 Tercel 4WD SR5

I collided with a pickup last week in the middle of an intersection not half a mile from my house :cry: The city has been ripping up streets (as per usual in the summer months) all over the place, creating a minefield of ever-shifting and unanticipated road closures/obstacles. Some crew must have hi...

Re: '87 SR5 for sale

I'm in Omaha and crashed my Tercel4WD last week. Trying to assess whether the frame can be straightened, whether I want to sell it as-is, or buy another T4WD daily driver and keep mine as a parts vehicle. I'll have to see when I can get down to KC, but I'd love to take a look at this one.

Re: A day (night) that shall live in INFAMY! (part 2)

Man, that's a drag. Likely someone here has a headlight assembly, but if you don't find one by next week, there is an '84 SR5 in the salvage yard about 45 minutes from here. I'm going back next week to grab some more things from it (crossing my fingers that it's still there) and I could try and get ...

Re: "Toyster½shell" 1985 Tercel 4WD SR5

Always really appreciate your experienced perspective, Petros. And that you posted when you did because I was about to head up to buy those tires and thought about it more and talked myself out of it. I dropped Toyster off at the shop this morning and had them put on a new set of RT43's. Right out o...

Not sure if they are directional, and I woulda gave them a try (thanks for your comments dlb!) buuuut turns out I lucked into a pretty good deal for a set of daisies yesterday from a younger kid who had a '93 Miata. Look to be in good shape, I'm about to take them to the car wash bay and knock the s...

Re: "Toyster½shell" 1985 Tercel 4WD SR5

Well, the Nokian tires I bought in December really didn't have much of a challenge to step up to over the winter; we had a real easy cold season here in eastern Nebraska with only a few heavy snowfalls. But I'm still running those tires because they're all I've got! I've been keeping an eye on CL fo...

Re: Wiper Linkage Assembly - How To Fix This?

I just went through this same scenario last week. The thread that Tom linked to above was very helpful in getting it fixed. Did you hear a "thunk" just before the wipers quit working? If so, that was the ball joint that's attached to the wiper motor slipping out of the wiper arm's bushing ...
