    I love these cars! Nice find... and good luck on the project. I saw a minty Starlet at a car show last weekend, and it was incredible, my favorite car at the show for sure.

    OMG! This made me think of the fact that a good friend of mine, who drove a 1980 Corolla all the way through college, used to call the Tercel the "Turd-Cell." It was not really a bad car. It was just your typical early 80's econobox.
