That looks a lot like the one I built. https://youtu.be/0-_LbHwmmZg?t=2m23s

Re: my '84 Tercel4wd stolen today!

@ Tercel_jon: Well, at least the kids had a discerning and sophisticated taste! Tom M. Oh no...Ive had offers from other idiots in this town to buy it. When asked why, they usually respond along the lines of "It would be perfect to destroy in my buddies field". I hate them. All of them.

Re: my '84 Tercel4wd stolen today!

Last year when I drove my 83 up to a gas station I overheard some kids talking about stealing a car. I looked up and they were looking right at my wagon! I finished filling up and got the heck out of there. They were in a newer silver dodge ram. I went up to tractor supply and as I was walking out h...

Re: I bought another one! I shall call her MINT and she'll be FRESH

Well, the time has come gents. I was going to just swap the motor and enjoy her a little bit during the spring, but rust has had other ideas. http://i.imgur.com/t5AxPda.jpg Good news is, the parts cars section of frame is completely solid! So its just a matter of cutting out the rust and welding in ...

Re: The Most Asinine eBay Pricing I Have Ever Seen...

$50 for a rear hatch light? Jesus...

$25 for a factory tie-down/tow bracket?

$100 for the piece of plastic at the bottom of the tailgate the carpet snaps to?

Hes definitely on some of that blue meth.

Re: ID/OD

Grab a flairing tool , cut out the bad section, and bend in a new section as long as you need. I did that to MINT last year when I got her. Havent had a problem since.

It works and Ive got 14.5 volts. Im happy. It only ran to the emissions control computer, then back to the regulator. That comp is u...

Re: Alternator not charging, but alt is good

True. Ive traced the black-red wire from the 15a engine fuse to inside the body, then it comes back out to the regulator. Well, It only goes to the emissions control computer, then comes back out. I pulled the ECC and its STILL popping. So Im gonna just cut it where it goes into the body and bypass ...

Re: Alternator not charging, but alt is good

Upon further investigation, I have power with key on going to the voltage regulator, but nothing coming from it to the plug on the back of the alt. I know one of those is the exciter wire...all three show 0.00 volts.

Alternator not charging, but alt is good

So this one has me confused. The 83 sat for 3 months, I fired it up yesterday, replaced a few things (steering Ujoint and window crank) and when I went to drive to the gas station today, I heard a pop and my alt light came on. Took the alternator in, and it checked out. I swapped in the brand new lo...

Re: Auto trans, not moving in 2wd

Well thats the thing. The donor was in the junkyard with no visible damage. It did have a brand new radiator though. (snagged that) No coolant in the oil or vice-versa. I drained and pulled the pan on the donor a few minutes ago, its got some sparkly pieces in the pan that were large enough to bothe...

Re: Auto trans, not moving in 2wd

Good news then Petros! I have a donor 4wd auto trans right beside me. However Im unsure of the condition of the clutches and bands so it appears Ill be swapping that part over. I DO know, the front coupling is good. It doesnt want to roll when in park like the trans in the car does. Thanks xirdneh, ...
