World's worst Tercel

This is cool!

While I love the current wheels, I definitely think some weird/ off the wall wheels would be cool.


My vote is find a good wheel importer and look around on yahoo.jp for some weird cheap wheels!

Oh man. I saw a red tercel (and have seen many other times now) that was super clean and had the BMW style body kit all-around. It inspired me that a Tercel could be a really cool commuter car build!

Now I'm really glad to see this. You seem to have good taste and I'm intrigued to see what you continue to do with it!

O ya, I also got a color matched trunk lid spoiler lip thing. Its small, but adds a very nice touch and looks fantastic. Probably the best $30 part I've ever bought.

Dope Tercel bro. Odd builds are cool. Gold BBS Rs would be tits on this!

While some RS' would be really nice and are still a possibility, I kinda want to find some weird obscure wheel to go with this weird car haha

What up, small update like always.

I took the lip off. It was starting to look like shit with it being broken in 5 different places and all. I might get another one later, but for now none is okay.



Also took care of that pesky faded/peeling roof problem. 2 cans of chalkboard paint later and I have a drawable roof. The roof is only 47" off the ground as it sits currently, so its low enough for most people to be able to write on without any problem. I gues we'll see how much of a success it really is at cars and coffee this weekend This pic is also right after I finished spraying, so it was not dry there




ONE more thing. I'm saving up for some new wheels. Slightly less aggressive than what they currently are so I can go lower, but I want some opinions... white or gold?

Or you could glass over the rivets, panel bond them on and paint them body color. Rivetless flares used to be all the rage. That's how quite a few of the VIP guys in JDM land would do it a while back instead of molding it to the body or riveting. I personally like the way it looks compared to riveted or molded.

Here's an es300/windom from the early 2000's.

Honestly I have no idea what I want to do, and I do not like making rushed decisions. It strangely doesn't bother me too much so I'll fix it eventually.

Little update though, I got a new rear bumper in because the old one looked like this all across and was frankly one of the eye-sores.



Threw it on in a little under an hour and a half.... turns out it was missing about half of the retainers and bolts it should have had, so its half way ziptied on haha. It holds good, the fitment is perfectly OE, and I love how it looks. At least a million times better than that multi-colored chipping piece of crap lmao. And no, I don't think I'm going to paint it... unpainted bumpers were factory for most Tercels, and only the optioned out models got color matched. I really really like how clean it looks now



I also ordered LED plate lights, backup lights, xenon headlights blah blah blah.

I'm starting to look at tint to... what % do you guys think would look best on it? Laws are no regulation on rear window (any % is legal), and all side windows are max 25%. No regulations on colors either.

I have a set of flares sitting at home... I'm not the biggest fan of flares honestly. I like clean body lines without rivets everywhere lmao. That being said, I do need to do something to fix or cover up that section. I might just pay a body shop to re-bondo it and smooth out the other fender and make everything look new again.

I like this a lot. May I dare mention fender flares to correct the broken fenders? I think it would great on these older toyotas.

I got the cleanest car in the whole Walmart parking lot

[bshan]

A buddy of mine had a tercel in high school we had a lot of fun with that car haha... keep up the good work sorry to see what your buddy did to that rear fender >

[nishy]

Ass go down yesterday. I got the tires mounted, and finally maxed out the rear coilovers... now when I say "max" I mean without removing collars or cutting springs lmao. The fitment is fucking perfect to me. Almost no rub, and tucks top of tire. Double stagger for the win! Just ignore the fucked up fender

[nishy]

These sexy guys came in the mail yesterday. Two Enkei Apache II's 15x8 +25 and two Toyo Proxy T1R 195/45s. Gonna put these on the rear to replace the advans because I **** poke. And I can go lower man how I wish I could camber the fuck out of it....






Also this guy parked next to me.... he's stock and almost twice as tall as I am hahaha. I love how tiny this car is... and this is the sedan version!
