Check if they are still available from Toyota, you may be surprised.

Thank you , Monday I will ring Toyota and ask
Just needs a patch or two , got 199,000 miles on the clock starts and runs , stopping is ok if you got a brick garage in front when you need to stop , lucky for me someone built one where I needed it, but really excited to have this in the shed,

Hi BM and Welcome. @Bund has recently had his short wheelbase restored with fairly similar rust issues, maybe he knows where to get panels.

Great to see some photos of the ol’ gal. Be good seeing this one take shape. I love the round headlight 70s.

Bund’s thread here. If you’ve not seen it it should give you some inspiration.

Think think we managed to weld them two patches on,
now looking for a 10in roller and a pot of dulex

 

[StarCruiser]

Wow! That’s looking like some good progress there! Well done so far.

Not bad for a paint job done in a shed, got some runs,being wet flatted and a second coat, then wet flat and polish, only get Wednesdays to play its going to get done soon

Now we need to rebuild it ,the man we brought it from delivered it on a trailer said he had not started it for some years,it might need a filter or two

That’s looking good BM.

Have you thought about a 1kz-t engine swap instead of rebuilding the 2.4 which is known to be a bit, how shall I say, sluggish?
