According to my guidebook. I will be no where near these cars when I get to Japan so car shopping is not on the itinerary plus we have so many good Tercels for sale in Australia and mine (hopefully) won't need replacing for a while. Although that is a great price for that Wagon! There is a Tercel Sp...

Hi Wayne Looks like you caught it just in time! Once water tight you could put a rear wheel arch liner from a 4wd on one side and a 2wd on the other as I think they had the Fuel fillers on diferent sides of the car so there should be 2 different types available I guess. Might need a little customisa...
