    Having a bit of money in the bank and a cheap place to live while having a little project car like this to work on sounds like paradise to me.

      The property itself is great, super cheap to own/maintain but unfortunately only 2 types of people live in trailer parks and that's nosey elderly people and drug addicts. Having to deal with all the freaks/weirdos constantly has really soured my ownership of this property and I can't wait to unload it because of that. I'm saving for a more rural property where I can have an actual shop and my car shenanigans can run wild.

      Happy 4th of July! I was in Pennsylvania for a month and after that I was recovering from a random assault that I was involved in about a month ago so that's why I've been absent but the good news is I have the final part of the trailer video all filmed and its being edited so soon you'll get to see the final product!

    good to see you back keep those toyotas coming. When my 2 sons started driving I bought them each used 1986 Chevy Nova which were toyota corolla's. They were great little cars and had the Al4c motor which were used also on air compressors

    I actually was in the market to buy this car model and when I went to test drive it. It was one of the worst cars I had ever drove. Acceleration was absolutely garbage, wind noise was just terrible, practically is non-existent. It was hilarious, I loved it and I wanted to buy it instantly. But the seller was over charging and I was just buying the car for laughs, giggles and 40mpg.

    Put a teaspoon of oil in the cylinder and check compression again if compression comes back up it means bad rings and you may as well get an engine id bet bad rings if the oil buildup looks like that
    Goodluck

    • @jimmyjimjims7483
      @jimmyjimjims7483  7 місяців тому +1

      I'm gonna put the head back on after I have it decked/cleaned and if the compression doesn't look like what I wanna see I'm going to pull the pistons out and re-ring them since its not terribly hard on these motors, it for sure had a bad head gasket but I don't doubt it also suffered from oil consumption before its death so I'm hoping I don't have to re-ring it
