Don't take it to a shop for restoration until you are almost 100% sure you have the time and resources to do so.

Thanks for the advice! I don't really expect it to be easy though. I'm expecting it take a year or more for me to actually get to drive it.

Cool. Just finish college, get a job, don't get anyone pregnant, and you'll be able to work on your project through the years.

Even when i used to buy popular (with lots of parts) second hand cars, with some time and resources, it would take me months to get it to the good running condition (good for me is at any given time, i can just ride the car and take it on a hard long drive with no worry that something will break). It really takes time, patience and a lot of learning. But that's where you learn.

For old school Toyotas, one name that crops up with the articles i read on popular sources is Ichiban in Banawe.

Whenever I'm in Banawe, all the other shops would point me to Ichiban whenever I go looking for hard to find parts. 😂

Good luck sa parents mo

But if they are willing to fund this, then go for it. Give them an estimate of how much it would cost to complete your project car.

Making that car run again would be a good learning experience on cars. I have a friend who I consider as a "car expert" and he told me that it was his Lancer box type that taught him about cars. Lahat na ata ng sira pinagdaaanan niya kaya siya natuto

toyota wasn't officially selling cars in the philippines during them years.
you'll probably have a bit more difficulty sourcing parts.
but not impossible.
good luck.

Of course.

Finished college, got a job but i also had kids early on. No regrets definitely but it did hinder me from doing any project cars.

* Jut, when i was a kid (circa late 80s to 90s) we had a Toyota Corona wedge and i still remember making regular trips with our family driver to Delta Motors (in Cubao or Q. Ava) to buy OEM parts. I'd imagine those parts i used to see in their stock room would be worth so much nowadays.
