I got somekind of a brainfart last October and bought myself an 1986 Tercel 4wd which has been used as a workhorse from year 2006. Now im at a point, where i've practically rebuilt 1/3 of this car and the only missing piece is drivers side front fender which looks like a fender and hasnt been messed up with all kinds of repairs.
Sorry for my poor english

welcome! your English is fine, even with the brain farts.
shipping from North American would be rather costly I would think, you may be able to find one in a yard where they dismantle old cars for parts (we call them "wrecking yards", though they do not really wreck cars there, they end up there after they are wrecked). you might also check in Russia right next door to you, these cars seem popular there. I do not know what it takes to cross the boarder and get a fender off a wrecked Tercel and drive back.
BTW, the front wheel drive sedan models all uses the same front fenders from '83 through '86, wagons only '87-'88.
All borders are closed because of the covid, so getting IT by myself from neighbour countries isnt an option. I've searched it from Europe and russia without results. I also know about the interchangeability between AL20 and AL25 front fenders but still no results. I tried to contact someone from eBay who was selling an fender, but never got response regarding to shipping costs... Money isn't the problem at this point anymore It seems like i just have to make the wheel arc from sheet metal just like i've done other panels too.
Too bad it is not a right fender that you need - I could easily help you with that.

That is quite a restoration project that you have taken on. I hope you post pictures, when it is finished.
Best wishes.

No other vehicle that I have ever owned had a heart and soul like my 1985 Tercel SR5 4WD Wagon.

Great minds may think alike but it is the doers who see their visions become reality.

maybe a search on this forum as well with Finland / sweden / norway in the search box. There is a guy in Norway with about a dozen Tercels on the Facebook group. good luck!
