My 1981 Tercel finally ventures out of the garage after being incapacitated for 7 months.

My 1981 Toyota Tercel, "Bopper," finally was fixed after I worked on it about 4-5 hours/week for seven months (some weeks more so, some less so). It blew a head gasket, among many other things, during a roadtrip last summer and the entire repair job was entirely new to me. But it feels so sweet to drive it now. That scrapping sound you are hearing is simply the metal splash guard setting. It went away after a minute of driving. The engine actually sounds very nice and quiet with all new gaskets and seals.

Mine only has a top speed of 84 mph on a flat. But, yeah, what color is yours? I'll look for it on the streets. It's burning oil, I need to replace the pistons rings someday. But not ready to rebuild again.
