Yes, it's rather surprising how much stuff is still around somewhere, even with such limited space.

Yes, it's really great! Very happy to have found it and that I was quick enough to get it. It does have noticeable but solid rust repair on the front strut domes and front wheel wells, but I don't see that as an issue.

No rust, but it does have a dent in the middle. If you want it, I can arrange to purchase it for you and collect it.
I can ask him to be on the lookout for a fender. He tends to bid on ex-dealer stock and then collect everything and sell off the stuff he doesn't need.

Yes, please! Then I can also bring you the stickers I promised long ago when I pick it up. If you can ask for hints of where to find the other missing bits, I'd be very happy.

Worst case, the left fender can be made from sheet metal, since I have a good right one as a template. I've seen a grille on ebay, which I'll also order soon, but I'm waiting for the workshop manual to see what other bits I may be missing.

Also, bonus I forgot to mention: It came with the full set of Toyota tools from that era.
