Default Restoring a Cortina

Hey guys, I have a question for the guys that are restoring or building a TC-TD. Where are good places for parts? I'm looking at a TD that has been sitting on a farm for many years, so the taillight lenses are pretty rooted. Looking at rust sections too, can't find repro floor pans etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not many panels available in Aus try searching the UK under Mk3 Cortina.
Heres a start, these guys do a lot of repair sections but aren't cheap.

Repro lenses are pretty readily available on ebay.
Hope that helps as a start

This guy has a lot of parts, not sure about he’s prices though.

I've got an Escort. Similar source for most Cortina parts. You can try Magnum panels either direct or through importers. Burton Power in the UK has many performance parts. Yesterford has most other parts. Rare Spares is worth a look but I've never had any real success with the Escort
