Okay, so I came across this Tercel and somehow purchased it, tho I couldn't explain it... I didn't need it, I knew I was overpaying for it but bought it anyway cause it chose me. I immediately took it to a shop (I am too busy) and told them to addressed the front end ‘clunks’. After new Moog tie rods and an alignment... front end is now tight and car runs, drives and stops A1.
Have since detailed the interior, installed new floor mats, and even installed new shifter boots. I’m just giving the car love cause I have to. I have checked everything (and I mean everything) out on this car to make sure it all works. Fan (all speeds), wipers /washers front and back, lights, etc. Even took apart the dash just to lubricate the temp selection slide, same for front windows mechanisms. Figured out how to unlock the Inclinometer, replaced spark plugs and gas filter and tracked down every vacuum leak too. The car is just so damn simple to work on, it’s almost fun. I’m going to change the oil and filter today. Please stop me before I repaint the black trim around the windows and start shopping paint/wheels/and a divorce attorney. What the hell has gotten into me?
Anyway, I have too many vehicles and don’t any need more distractions (no kidding) so I’m looking to find it a good home before I start getting powder coating quotes for the frame. This car really needs nothing to be reliable and can be driven anywhere. Please feel free to make a good offer but consider this is a clean, ready to go driver, not a lump of rust needing a parts chase and three weeks of work. Thanks.
