85 Tercel

Post by Donnkirkland »

I have a 85 4wd tercel that i bought from petro's about 3 yrs ago that he wrote about called the grunt. I am moving to Texas in april and cannot take it with me and was wondering what it is worth. From me i put new struts, half shafts on both sides, new tires, exhaust system and took off the cat, new hoses, belts. I know Petro's did a whole bunch to it when he had it. It has the 6sp. a good clutch, a straight body but does need Maco. It has 320k and i put 12k on it. I have tried to attacched pictures but it won't let me do it.

here is the story of the trip where I picked up grunt in Colorado: https://tercel4wd.com/forums/viewtopic.php? ... ilit=grunt

I list the new parts it got on that trip, and there are lots of pictures of it. but I still have to finish the narrative. I put a new head gasket in it and a few other things. as I recall it only had one dent in the rear quarter panel, but the clear coat and paint was peeling off the roof and hood. That was a great road trip, despite the misadventures.
