Toyota's 4 Life
by Jiro » Sat Mar 12, 2011 9:10 am
I've driven Toyotas since before I had a drivers license and owned about a dozen so far. Just less than a year ago bought a 1983 Tercel 4WD. One of the best cars I've ever owned.

I love that two tone '87 Tercel that you have. What kind of problems have you had to address with this one? Any background you could provide would be interesting...

welcome to the list!
looks like some nice Toyotas you have there! What kind of mods do you have planned for the Tercel?
I owned a Corolla All-trac for a while, and considered what it would be like to have a 4age in it. NIce engine swap. Now to stiffen the suspension and give it a bit more ground clearance.
Where are you, looks like western washington/pugets sound area.

AE95 is a 5 speed and it does need more clearance as it is currently stuck in the Cascade mountains here in Washington state due to 40+ inches of heavy snow we got 2 weeks ago.
The two tone Tercel was very neglected, alll the brakes (calipers, rotors, pads/shoes) needed replacing, alternator, battery, oil leaks, t-belt, interior was horrific, etc. Still needs a few more things but it is running strong with only 196,000 miles
