I'm in Pittsburgh. Been calling pick & pulls around here. No previas.
It's not bad, but it's bad.

Sorry, she's a 1991.
I believe virtually all the USDM Previas are interchangeable in terms of body parts. I know the bumpers are slightly different after 1995? Or is it 1994 that the front bumpers changed? Either way, I believe most of the parts you're trying to replace would be compatible.
The headlights did change slightly in design and the bulb type as well, in 1994. So that is something to take into consideration as well. What you'd have to do is get the connector for the bulbs on the 1994 Previa and splice them into your wiring harness for your lights on the 1991.
Quick note, there are corner lights available on eBay for $36.00 for each side, brand new. I am assuming your's are broken/missing?

They popped out in the crash. I didn't want to lose them so I took them off. I have them. There's a couple broken clips on both, so idk if they'll go back in. My buddy (auto body tech) said that the rad support will have to be welded in so there's no quick fix to get her inspected. Bummed out about that. It's probably gonna cost me a small fortune to get her fixed. I was hoping to try to fix it myself. This sucks.
Seems quite involved. Perhaps consider replacing it? Have you checked for any Previas for sale? I know they're only getting more and more rare. I'm in Atlanta and there will be some for sale from time to time, but the decent quality ones for sale are sold quickly. I saw a 5-speed Previa sold within a week or so of posting. Then there was a mint condition '96 All-trac in Athens, GA that sold rather quickly as well.
These are great vehicles, I love the platform. A fun to drive minivan, who would have thought. But the unfortunate reality is that they are rare to find and parts are being phased out by Toyota. Despite enjoying these vans, I don't see myself owning my 1992 for much longer. Maybe 2 or 3 years at most.

FWIW, You'd be surprised if you plan a trip and get as many parts as possible. The grilles were a low as $45 bucks and the parts do cross-over thru several years as mentioned.

I appreciate all of the responses!
I had two offers to buy her this week. I can't sell. It's too cherry. 138,000 grandma driven miles, all work performed at the dealer including every oil change. She even had rust repair done on the rear quarters. The interior is pristine. It would be foolish for me to sell. As soon as I get the headlights and marker lights fixed It will pass inspection flawlessly at the most picky inspection shops.
It's perfect for taking into the forest to go camping, I can haul all of the kids around in it too. (If I allow them in it) It's not my daily driver so, I have time to save up some cash. If i have to pay someone to cut the radiator support out and weld a new one in, I'll do it.
I love the thing. People in general love the Previa! It starts conversations wherever I go. Even people that think it's hideous see why i love it so much. I wanna take it to (not enter) car shows. it only was a freshly painted manual on bags with a supercharger and nice wheels..... a boy can dream, can't he?

If it’s not your daily driver, then for sure take your time and fix it. These Previas are great and are unique. They’re a keeper for sure, especially if it’s not your daily.
I previously stated that I probably won’t keep my Previa much longer, but I definitely will replace it and keep it if I have room to store it. At the moment I cannot store two vehicles, but that may change in a few years.
