I have a '91 Celica with bad trunk hinges. All cars in salvage yard have bad hinges. Surely someone has come up with a substitute that works. If you've found something to work let me know.

Have you checked if an aftermarket kit has been made for this at parts stores? If you found them all bad used then they should be popular. I know they make door hinge replacements for other cars.
My own 97 Chev truck needs a door hinge pin which they sell with brass things to make up for where they wear.
This one I can't really do working alone because it takes careful support of the door when old one is out and it's a mint truck so I don't want to damage the door.
For mine I will pay a body shop which will only deal with new OEM complete hinge and that's cool because I want it painted to match perfectly and I am not concerned in this case about the added expense.
Check with body shops as to whether they have a source for aftermarket replacements, T
