Just tweaking with Paintshop Pro.

RAWR! If I do the 4Runner axles to the 86, it won't look far off from that. Maybe taller.

Tint fun!
Starting point.

Black 20% tint (opacity filter set to 80%, so 20% see-through)

Black 30% tint (opacity 70%)

Blue 20% tint (Opacity 80%)

Odd Orange-ish color 20% tint (Opacity 80%)

Never played with the program to see if I can do metallics. Might try that next. Maybe some more colors in more percentages. Or I might go ADHD and forget I ever did this. lol.

Nice shots! I'm a fan of a hint of tint, just my opinion. Maybe I'm getting old..

Man, Typrus your car looks good in those shots. It's just like my Dad's except for the roof rack. Plus his is a little less shiny, but at least it's all one colour.. It's got character!

I made this just after I got my car, it's about 4 years old. Looking at it now, I think it looks really good with tint, but here in NS I don't think we can do the front windows, and it'd look horrible half done.

Typrus, just noticed you're missing the little hubcaps for your stock rims. Want a set? Mine are sitting gather snow/dust.

If you want them, let me know and I'll try and clear enough snow to find them.

I have 8 hiding away in a cubby in my garage. I mess with the wheels often enough I just don't bother putting them back on. I don't see it as much of a detriment to the look though. If people are scrutinizing my steelies while I'm passing, I'll have to wonder what they'd think of my Escort rims. Lol.

That lifted pic MIGHT become a reality. I just need funding. And some welding skills, but I'm entering a basic class on machining, welding, and the likes in a few days.

If you do decide to undertake that lift project, keep in mind that Jeep Cherokee's are a unibody. A very common problem offroad is a lifted cherokee cracking welds. I highly doubt that the tercel's welds would be stronger. Unibody re-inforcement may be necessary.

Yeah, but its not a wagon...
Guess someone kind of beat me to it. Though, with the VW engine (Maybe?) amongst soe other goodies, mine will stand a bit out.
That and the whole no rust thing >.<
