1987 New Condition Interior (and exterior shell)

Folks! Just a reminder that I have an almost complete, new condition brown interior coming available. I'm not in a position to ship or part out, but if anyone is Los Angeles based, or has someone who can retrieve the parts, I'd love to see them go to a well-deserving Tercel. Ideally, someone would c...

It’s better used as a kit of parts to make another Tercel into a very nice, brown interior car. We’ve cut pieces of the frame where needed.

The 15k original miles ‘85 SR5

0F4F1875-2796-472B-AFD0-20E3225DB61E.jpeg Hi folks. Some of you may remember, a while back the post for a 15,000 mile 1985 4WD SR5 Wagon. I ended up buying that car, to preserve it. I sourced a set of original alloy wheels, had them refurbished, and got the air conditioning working. It’s a delightf...

Re: 1983 Toyota Tercel 4WD SR5 : Life in Pictures / Lost & Found: RESTORATION DOCUMENTED!

Just a reminder that the donor car will be available with a very nice brown interior. Hit me up if interested. Prefer to sell the whole thing rather than piece it out or send to wrecker. So many good rare parts remain. 77D1E968-7A29-445C-A9E8-BFEA7F74CF65.jpeg 4E7A0C9A-57F0-4DFA-9CD4-F45F7D49B328.jp...

Re: 1983 Toyota Tercel 4WD SR5 : Life in Pictures / Lost & Found: RESTORATION DOCUMENTED!

Visiting the progress today. It’s down to the nutty gritty mechanical details. They all lols so happy, refurbished and new again. Also, went ahead and had the blue ‘85 alloys powder coated and am looking into having center caps 3D printed. 4D8E9312-D1CE-4BE0-9A39-A3BE9A97B95C.jpeg 841DAF88-78E2-482A...

Re: Tercel Design Story

those are great pictures, almost exactly as produced except for the oversized rear quarter window. that is also a very interesting roof rack, not sure I have seen that anywhere else. Most likely, the concept car was based on a pre-production unit, which would have had the same tooling as the final ...

Re: Tercel Design Story

Some shots I found of the Tercel concept vehicle. Not sure if they've been shared before, but figured this was the best thread for them to live in.

Re: 1983 Toyota Tercel 4WD SR5 : Life in Pictures / Lost & Found: RESTORATION DOCUMENTED!

you may have to fabricate those center caps, seems every year someone is looking for one for their own cars. Seems it would be easy enough to fab a center hub from ABS plastic and paint it silver, and glue it into place. I’m looking into having a set 3D printed from a scan of an original. I’ll let ...

Can anyone please help me source two center caps? We are so close to the finish line with this restoration. Looking for all the details to be perfect. TIA.

Re: 1983 Toyota Tercel 4WD SR5 : Life in Pictures / Lost & Found: RESTORATION DOCUMENTED!

A small update today. The carpet kit that I sourced all the way from Australia is now installed. I still have the original and I am planning to have it cleaned just to see if it’s usable still. 2CD2D0A8-C857-4C0D-8785-D03DD36EE339.jpeg 3ED2C433-D29F-4B74-A47D-9D989CBA89FB.jpeg 7D58D6D0-19FF-43C9-BF4...

Re: 1983 Toyota Tercel 4WD SR5 : Life in Pictures / Lost & Found: RESTORATION DOCUMENTED!

Great Super 8 footage! Amazing how modern the car looked in context to the malaise sedans and cars of the time. They still look good today and don't look 35years old. So well said. This is exactly how I felt in 1983 as a little kid when I saw it on the showroom floor in Scottsdale. It really looked...
