I recently acquired a 1989 4runner from a friend that has some damage to the passenger fender and bumper. I have bought an oem fender already and removed the cosmetic damage but the inner fender structure, headlight bucket and upper radiator support have a small amount of damage as well. I have been able to find the upper radiator support already but the headlight bucket and inner fender structure have been a little more difficult. I found the headlight bucket that I need on rockauto but it was for the 84-86 with the 22re and not for an 89 with the 3.0. Does anyone know if this part will interchange for my needs? Also, will I have to cut the inner structure from a parts truck or is there an aftermarket source that is available?

Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided. I have been driving the 4runner around but I'm at the point that I feel it should probably be fixed properly.

I can't think of a reason why that headlight bucket wouldn't interchange, but I can't think why Rockauto would say it's only for 84-86 either. In any case I wouldn't order from them unless you're sure, I've seen them be utter *****es about returns.

I don't know of anywhere to get the inner fender aftermarket, I suspect you'll need to hack that off a parts truck. How badly is the fender damaged? Can you massage it back to shape with a hammer and dolly?
