Some springtime pics of the green monster

Post by Polar Bear »

Hi all,
it's been a while since I've logged in. She's running fine, had to adjust the valves to get better mileage, but that's about it. No worries so far :D

I just found some old pics of my green Terc, I really should take some decent ones with a camera instead of the mobile cam. but still haven't found it.

so here goes, some random shots from this spring(see how nicely the green colour blends into the woods :mrgreen: ;

Thanks,
and nope, it's an imported German model, so the lights were on allready. If you check the link, along the story there's some good info about the German accessories that were available long ago.

Thanks guys :D

It has 14 inch toyota Corolla rims, and 175/80 tires. Springs seem to be original, as well as the shocks. I don't know if the previous owner has swapped them though..

I have bumper envy, send my all your spare bumpers. I hate the stupid ugly oversized federally approved mega bumpers we get in the USA (as if it makes us safer or better drivers). I want Euro or Japanese bumpers, the German ones are the best, some even have electric winches hiding behind the licence plates! I was thinking of making some nice lightweight fiberglass "fake" bumpers that look similar to the Euro bumpers, but too much work.

Send me some Euro bumpers for the Tercel4wd! The headlights and grill would be good too! what carb set-up do they use in England? The duel SUs? Send me some of those too!
