Wanted 1975 Toyota Corona front end parts

United States

Well I just picked up a 1975 Toyota Corona wagon. I had to because it is in amazing shape (minus the wreck) and only has 53K original miles. I've tried my normal parts sources to no avail. So any help any of you all could give would be greatly appreciated. My plan is to fix it up and drive it on sunny summer days. Maybe a parts runner for the shop. Please don't hate on it. I have a large fleet of custom cruisers, 4runners, tacomas, etc.. But one can never have enough Toyota's I guess.

A few more pic's. Its cleaner inside than cars of mine that are only a couple years old. This one is 38. Someone took very good care of it and I hope to get it back there soon.

Have you tried Toyota? A google search shows the fenders still Available for less than $150.

I did try Toyota. I deal with my local Toyota dealer quite often. Once they heard what I had the asked me to bring it in. Unfortunately the only parts they could actually get where fuel lines and fuel pump related items. Main part I'm looking for with no success is an upper control arm for he passenger side.

How easily could this control arm be replicated? Bushings in good condition? Love the mustard color!

The front end should be pretty similar to a KP61 Starlet.

I've been out of the AE86 game for a while (still have mine...just haven't played with it in a long time).

Check out Club4AG.com in the classifieds section

Also, battleversion.com and technotoytuning.com are good sources for suspension and steering parts. They sell adapters that will allow you to use AE85/AE86 corolla strut housing/spindles, although I know AE85/AE86 chassis cars are pretty hard to find.

I found an upper control arm out of Portland. Thanks for all the help. Now on to sheet metal.

I did get a chance to pull it apart today. Fortunately the only damaged part other than the body was the upper control arm and ball joints. New OEM ball joints where not to hard to source luckily.
