86 tr 64025

i have tried a search but could not locate anything. anyone have any information on an 86 tr, vin 64025? would be much appreciated.

 

Well I made the jump and committed to this car. Started life in California. Moved to Edmonton Alberta in 89, and the 3rd owner will be moi. Resale red with black interior, single mirror, 44000 miles.

 

What does big red know ..... Last time he did not even leave me a pastry when he visited a mutual friend! Lol.

 

Is it supposed to have overspray or should it be strictly black?

What I found to do to make it better are the following:
1) once f chatters advise, paint the front good hinges and edges of overspray
2) both seat belt retractors and loose and one has to assist the belts to retract fully towards the end - will take retractors out to see if
I can lubricate internals and wind up a little tighter.
3) dash openings by w/s for defrost - fabric has pulled
Away from defrost openings. Going to try to heat up, stretch, and reglue. Fabric has not
Ripped, rather looks like adhesive has worn out.
4) got that 2nd gear stickyness till gearbox warms up.
5) need new tires. While very good tread, production date is 35th week 2002. Will leave this part until spring as using for one week and than storage for winter
6) source spare tire and rim - missing
7) remove single high mirror, patch up holes, install double low mirrors. JUST KIDDING!

 

Thanks Jeff. Going to drive it for a week next week to assess properly and than the winter months to take a hammer and duct tape to it for the fixes

Was looking at the overspray in the front - hinge area for

Going to try tomorrow afternoon but it may be Monday. Have 3 graduations in grad school for 3 kids all different parts of US and canada.

 

Picked up the old girl this morning. Have to say that a totally different experience than my 77 308. The tr is much more professional in demeaner, steering is a little lighter, and definitely more umph.....not like my AMG 6.3 which is modern, rather a bruteness.
What I really liked was the transmission. Initially it was sticking but now now this was because of lack of use. After 5 minutes it is now smooth and sharp shifting. Minor item is that in my 308 I could let the clutch out fully before giving throttle. With the tr I find you have to feather a little by giving about 100 rpm during the engagement of the plates. I usually like to let clutch out before giving gas as this makes less stress.
Overall quite pleased with the car. Going to drive it another two weeks and make a list of items to work on over winter. One immediate thing I found out immediately in getting into the car, other than there is no graceful way of plopping down on the seat, is that I need to carry slim shoes. My wingtip dress shoes were, shall we say, obese for the function of throttle manipulation.
In my younger days used to mentally make fun of old f--rts driving these type of cars. Now that I am N old f-art, I mentally advise the youth that they need to wait their turn.
