My 86 2WD wagon
I picked this one up in North Carolina about 6 years ago, after the original owner traded it in on a new Volvo at about 200k miles. At that point it was still running the original cap, rotor, wires, and I believe the original plugs, one of which was totally bridged with carbon. The rear strut shafts had worn approximately 1/2" through the metal cap on the strut body. I changed the plugs and drove the car almost 1000 miles home the next day.
I changed the struts not long after I got home. The ignition components waited till this year. We hit 250k miles on January 9, and currently the mileage is at about 256,500. I just installed a Holley rebuilt carb a couple of weeks ago, which restored the idle and gas mileage. Now to fix the A/C.
The paint is original on all but the left fender and the 2 right doors.

The only Tercel we have ever had in Australia (and I think Europe) is the 4wd wagon makes it a lot easier when calling wrecking yards and organising parts
cheers, Matt
