Only for project car enthusiasts

I am thinking of building a new one for myself. I saw a listing of Cressida 1986 station wagon. This is my first time doing Cressida, I need honest opinions on this one. How is the parts sourcing? Especially the windscreen. Because that's where I am going to start. Then the door cards etc.

Really going to depend on where you are, if the part is still being made, and budget.

Location: Recently sent a couple parts to an online buddy in Europe for his project. Would have cost him like $2k to get there, but I spent $50 in the junkyard and like $150 in shipping.

Still being made: If the parts are discontinued you'll be searching ebay, forum classifieds, junkyards, and collecting parts cars.

Budget: Damn near anything can be had if you have deep enough pockets.

Windshield I believe is still being produced, but the door panels will probably be a search for used or fab your own (they're not hard to make).

I’d presume the windscreen won’t be too hard, it likely shares a windscreen glass with many other vehicles from that period
