Re: New Member New Car
Added Barto Lift to the rear looks good. Still trying figure the best way to lift the front.I bought Camery springs, then saw the post not to use them.

Re: New Member New Car
Funny I had pulled the strut springs from a Corolla All-trac first, but then thought the Camery Route sounded better. Guess I should have stuck FAQ #10 sugestion.

Re: New Member New Car
Went to Pick-n-pull for there 50% off sale just recently and scored some SR-5 seats for my wagon. been working on cleaning out the interior. Lots of dog hair, the lady I bought it from said she used to to take her dogs to the park she didn't want them in her new car. She must of taken them to the park alot. There was tons of hair, and the DLX seat were real dirty.

Re: New Member New Car

Re: New Member New Car
I love that seat pattern, only came in the '85 model year. The same year as your DLX, you lucked out finding such nice seats of the correct year for your car. nice work.

Re: New Member New Car
I did hook up 4wd light according to your thread dlb on how to do it. Thanks for the great information with nice Pictures.
Yeah Petros It really was luck that I came across those seats. I didn't know that pattern was only offered one year that makes it just a little better!
It's great have a resource like Tercel4wd to go to when you have question on how to fix stuff on your car.

Re: New Member New Car
finally got around to Checking the sway-bar ends. They didn't look as bad as I was anticipating. I found another at Pick-n-Pull just in case I would find something real bad. Changed out the end bushing to the swing arm and back in business.
Tried to load pictures but was using a new Camera and the File was to large, Guess I will have to use my old Camera till I figure this one out.
Sorry no Pictures.
Got it it was the settings in my new Camera! Oh isn't technology Fun!
