If you buy parts from the dealer you will pay dearly.eg 1x Toyota aircon fast idle vacuum for 1HZ price $335 .The identical part from my local store $70.Non original part $45.
A used door for a 75/78 series runs into $500 and up to a $1000 for a really good one.
Of course a good 78 series will not need many parts for a long time.
My 73 series is 16 yo and has done 250000 and apart from the sagging door hinges everything else still feels newish. Up until a few moths ago it was still running the original leads and distibutor cap.(which made a big diffence although it was still running smoothly)
