Okay. Heres the idea. Get your Tercel looking at what you think is its best. If you are like me, that is with a good clean, claying and wax job. Some people like it just after a good mud-bogging trip. Whatever.
Now, take some pics of your baby. Any special things are good to showcase, but don't sit there putting in 400 pics of your donut-spacers.
Get some good shots of your exterior and interior. Give us as many angles as you care to.
The Typrus Tercel!
Yay! I'm the First entry!
HAHAHAHAHA!! Yeah right!
And soon to join it--

Damn DCN you're bad as me I see 2 Tercs in the driveway
Well Tyrus that aint "too bad" for a young'un but whats up with all the wires hanging in the floor board? The outside looks pretty good but you aint much on cleanin the interior are ya?.....My outside has a shitty paint job that came with it but my interior and engine is "tha bomb"
=====Justin=====
See the exterior is Aight but it aint all that with the spray paint job
Now the motor...its all that and this is before the 4A with the new motor it is cleaner than this
Heres some interior pics for y'all
And heres one of my wifes 2WD I'm gonna spend some time making this one a real nice looker for her as soon as I finish some of mine
Boy, you fellas sure know how to hurt a guy....
That blue interior makes my beige look kinda blah.
I wonder - has anyone ever tried dyeing the beige back to the original, somewhat deeper colors? It might help, as I was contrasting my '86 with the pix of my '83 when it was new.

The dangling wires are a shotty stereo wiring job.
The missing trim on the passenger A-Pillar is due to a friend punching it and breaking it in half. Believe me, that wasn't all that broke that day.
The missing panel from under the drivers wheel is because I'm lazy and didn't put it back on.
The missing panel from around the stereo is because I remove the thing a lot and 4 less bolts is 4 less bolts.
Yes, it needs a shampoo.

I actually removed mine and carefully bent the semi-potmetal, confident in my ability to fix this innocuous item.
WRONG !
The fix lasted just a few uses, and I did not feel like trying to fix it again and then break it in the attempt.
I wonder - do RHD cars have the latch bent down on the other side?

I thought they were supposed to be that way, you know, for the driver's comfort. Can't have our 4WDin', mud slingin' fingers getting all calloused.
Not to go all Chip Foose on you guys, but the Mother's PowerBall rocks. I'm thinking of grabbing a spare valve cover from Dad and getting to work polishing its ass UP! I'd be able to shave in the dang thing with the PowerBall.

Dude.. Mothers Back-To-Black woke up my side trim and parts of my front bumper. Considering I didn't wait for it to fully dry as instructed, I'm very impressed.
Those Powerballs, when combined with the proper cleaners, work wonders on EVERYTHING.

Hey Type, I agree with Lollypop! Why not clean your interior because the interior is filthy and repair the plastic break in the rear, will you? I want every Tercel on this site about as clean as they can get!
(chuckles) Then go buy me a repair kit.
I realize its dirty in the back. Thats what happens when you buy 3 girls a bunch of chocolate and all lay in the back of the Terc at the Drive-in movies and leave some bars back there in the 107 degree heat.
The rest of the interior is good.
No fear TD, I have plans to run to a shampoo place as soon as my car is mobile. I hate having a dirty car. Well, to the point I can't clean by throwing a few things out.

Just for the record Tyrus before somebody stirs crap, my cracks about the cleanliness of your ride was all in jest, no harm meant.....besides if my wife hadn't gotten out there and clean my ride it would look like a big purple dumpster.
I use my car.
P.S Dont ya just hate when people have the nerve to set mandates for a group they have only been a part of for a short period of time?
I'm not sure why it does that, it must be a design flaw.
