My Tercel "fix" on my DC trip

Post by Gottolovem »

So the regulars here know I took my daughter to Washington DC for her high school graduation. Not terribly important to the forum but I was offered the opportunity to go see forum member rer233 in Baltimore while I was there. Up until I got to his place I would have said with confidence that I had the largest collection of T4 parts in the country! Now i'm not so sure,he has a large collection 4 runners and lot's and lot's of part's. He also has a method of bypassing the TVSV with an electric vacuum switch off of a mercedes.
rer233 is the member that successfully put a manual tranny into an auto car. He did an amazing job you can't even tell without a very close inspection.
Here are a few photo's of my visit

Anyone ever see lights in the cargo area?

Image
or perhaps glove box light?

Image
He gutted this car to get the "smell out"

Image
Yes I want one of these

The next day I went to ride the world's tallest roller coaster and now I can say I know what it feels like to go from 0 to 128 mph in 3 seconds :o :o IT HURTS :o :o no goggles or glasses and we were in the front car so my eyelids were flapping like a flag in a nor'easter breaking the wind for everyone behind us!
