no photos up yet... check back in a couple days

wish they would post simple, basic stuff like odometer readings, and whether it's a 2WD or 4WD

If it is 4wd they tend to post it under "trim". The 86 in rancho says "Deluxe 4wd".

another really nice-looking vehicle... hard to tell from the photo but it looks like there might be a fuel door on the left rear, which would make it a 2WD

That is a 2wd wagon. However, do not delay, Go down there and grab those headlights, the headlight mounts, cut the connectors off with them, and the side marking light trim rings (that go all the way around the headlights). You might also consider that grill though it is slightly different than the 4wd version. Do it quickly, they are having a sale this weekend too. Save those composite headlights and side marker lights NOW! if you do not use them some on this forum will be happy to get them from you.

With the side marker lights, the headlights and mounts, and the grill, you can convert any year Tercel4wd into the composite headlight configuration. A worthwhile conversion. I would get (or make) some protective covers for the headlights before you mount them however, those Tercel composite headlights are hard to find and should be preserved with the headlight protectors.

Wish I didn't live 5 to 6 hours away from the Fairfield yard... if I was within a 2-hour driving distance, I'd have already been there to salvage parts off that '87 wagon, esp. the composite headlight assemblies as Petros stated above!

I'm sure there are Forum members who live between the Bay Area and Sacramento who might venture out to the Fairfield yard to do some strategic parts-pulling 8)
