how'd your tint job turn out? i paid a local dude to do mine because it's just such tedious work that is easily messed up. he didn't do a perfect job but he did way better than i could have and at a fraction of the price local shops were quoting me ($400-500!!!).

the tint turned out well david, but brittani and i found THREE new tercs at one of our local junkyards! one of which had a hotrod steering wheel and full black dash and door panels. the same car had... COMPOSITE HEADLAMPS! I'm going to post pics of the cars and a shady interior shot from each. you bet i spent a little cash there today. so - waiting on tint pics for when my grille is back in one piece :)

lots of good parts, no carbs at all - and the gold one had 368k on the clock and the third layer of license plates were from alaska in 1985!

tints and front end - if you switch to these headlamps, drill the adjuster holes in the rad support carefully, and in the right spot!! :lol:

looks like that blue one could have been fixed, the body looks perfect.

I put the later headlights in my '84 and I love them, big improvement over the sealed beams. They are hard to find and replace, so I have been meaning to make stone gaurds for them. two weeks after I found mine one got broken by a rock :-(

I found a replacement eventually, but I still worry about them. I need the time to make something to protect the lights.

I have best tercel luck out on lasalle - all those cars were crushed last fall :/

Drove my terc 670 miles to Dickinson, ND yesterday - best mileage was 32.17 @ 65mph on a 145 mile stretch. I plan on slicing a vent in my hood to get fresh air to the front of the weber filter before I try again. Some stretches when I wasn't going for mileage we were doing a steady 95 for about 55 miles. The new skins make her ride good but I can tell front end work is needed!
