Hello from MO!

Post by slimdude85 »

Thought I would introduce myself to everyone. I recently acquired an '81 Tercel (I know, pre-4wd era) and have been lurking around the site for some time, spending a lot of time reading threads on the 3AC engine and have found a lot of very helpful advice. I've already used the 3AC head gasket thread from Petros (thanks!) among several others. Figured I would come out of the shadows. As far as pics, let me get the car back together (engine has to be machined due to scored cylinder wall, hood and grille re-installed), then I'll post some. Until I have some questions that haven't been addressed in previous threads, I'll be reverting back to lurking.

welcome to the form,

we will not hold your handicap against you, lots of form members own the first gen Tercel or front wheel drive only Tercels.

Glad to be of help, that is why I made the thread.

Welcome! Where are you located?
With you, we are now four strong in the Show-Me State (of the active members)!
NWMO is near Maryville, FarmerJack is in Gasconade County, and I am in Kirkwood, a 'burb of STL (whence my handle).

I'm from the Springfield/Branson area. Highlandville, to be precise. All we need now is someone from the Cape Girardeau area to join, then we'll have the four corners of the state represented.
