In Australia we can get most of the consumable engine bits (gaskets, rings, spark plug leads, water pumps) from Veale or Repco.
Panels and trim are nearly impossible to find except from wrecking yards but one guy from Thailand is making small plastic trim bits (indicators, mirrors, interior door handles, etc) and selling them on Ebay.
Suspension parts are made by K-Mac and Whiteline.
Brake parts are made by Disc Brake Australia.
Rubber seals and weather strips are made by Rare Spares.

For performance parts we normally upgrade to later model engine, gearbox, suspension, brakes etc.
My own RA28 '77 liftback has many parts from later models (eg MA45 Supra rear axle, MA61 Supra seats and wheels, MX61 Cressida steering wheel, RT142 Corona front swaybar, RA35 Celica twincam engine, TA41 Carina electronic ignition).

It seems that Australia is the home of old Celica parts.
Must be our snow free environment (no rust) and lax laws on car inspections (old cars stay on the road).
