83 tercel for sale

This forum is for cars that run, or at least are close to running. This isn't for parting out complete cars.

83 tercel for sale

Post by teenahlake »

Located in halifax, ns. I have been working away the last 2 yrs and haven't been able to use it. It would start right up whenever i came home "much to my wifes displeasure". Last trip home, the starter wouldn't turn over, figured it was the battery, but maybe the starter. But with only 7 days every six weeks, my kids come first. No time! Would like to see her go to a home that will make her run. 500 obo 7808706017

I was very happy to get this car and the seller was happy that it could be used to keep my 'ol girl on the road for a few more years hopefully. I know he was sad to see it go because like I told him these cars become family members :) , but he was happy that it would help me and I appreciate very much him selling it to me, a real good guy.

Sorry teenahlake:
My reply didn't sumit.
I put a good battery in and it would just click so I changed the starter, the one on it was siezed, so it turned over with the new starter so I sprayed some carb cleaner down her throat and she took right off but was running really bad, so I drove her home, no problems, today I started it to see why it was running bad and No.1 wasn't firing, so the wires didn't look too good so I changed them and she runs perfect, quiet no smoke, so I will definitely put the motor in my 'ol Girl.
