G'day All,
A newbie to these parts as just happened across this forum earlier today so hope you'll go easy on me...  :I was wondering if somebody may be able to assist with an inquiry. I've got my hands on a 2000 model Cougar which has been involved in a bingle/damaged to the driver side R/H front. The remainder of the car inside and out seems to be otherwise in great nick. Owner didn't want to go through the hassle or expense of fixing it up but I've always loved the shape, look and aura of the car so would love to hopefully see the Cougar resurrected and back on the road! The car should definitely be repairable but I guess it's a matter of just at what cost?! As a project of sorts, I want to fix up the car and my brother in law is quite the motor head is in for the ride too. (no pun intended!). I believe any suspension parts needed I should be able to source OK and at much cheaper rate than going Ford hopefully! My dilemma is however the car does potentially need a new (maybe second hand?) R/H front fender and likely front bumper too. Rang Ford and they have quoted me in the vicinity of around $1K to $1.5K each for those type of parts!  Am I best served to go through Ford for the sake or 'new' parts originality and genuine or are there other avenues through wreckers or the USA I could/should pursue? I know Cougars have tended to be a bit scarce in Oz. Specially here on the west coast where I am! Anyway, thanks in advance for any leads and or feedback that comes my way and excuse my long winded rant for a 1st post!  Cheers, Paul |
