Default Newbe with a Mk2 Corty

Hi guys.
Quick intro, from NZ (Ok moving on...) have purchased my wifes, grandfathers Mk2 Corty to keep my '38 Dodge company in the shed. The car is very original and will not require much to make it a runner again.

Can you point me in the direction of companies that specialise in the parts for this model of Cortina. I may need a bit of rubber, and possibly misc parts like water pump etc. Also the front bonnet trim has been hammered when someone got a little too old to see the end of the garage when parking !! :

Great forum, thanks for any help that can be provided.

Dave

Hi Thanks for the info, I guess I will have to go second hand for the replacement front guard, have no plans to go to the UK so that is not an option.

Post up some pics !
I had a nice mk II about 12 years ago. Really shouldn't have sold it, anyway.
I still have an immaculate bonnet left over, but I'm in Tassie.......

Cheers,
Shayne
